This is also a poem

I wish for a cure,

I hope for a cure,

I’m losing faith in a cure.



A cure for society.



“Yes.
I am SHOOTING UP.



“Insulin,” I say.



The stares say what they will not,
“Can’t you do that
IN PRIVATE?”

“Can’t you BREATHE
IN PRIVATE!?” I respond.



I’m losing…my…mind
Slowly
Through
Drops

Of blood and insulin mixed up in insanity.





Missing class
AGAIN?!

I had DIABETES
air quote AGAIN air quote



You are air quote feeling sick air quote

again.



See RE: above Missing Class



Lack of sensitivity is getting me down
and not just the insulin kind.
