December 29th,2014 my pancreas gave up on me.
I was diagnosed with type 1, which means ill never be able to have fun.
Finger pricks and injection sights have now become my life.
Hospitalized for three days so they could take care of me.
20 pounds lost in just 2 months.
Blurry vision too.
Released on New Years Eve, Reality finally hit way too soon.
Sugar checks, Highs and Lows, is how it goes .
They look at you in disgust like your shooting up,
because they dont understand the disease.
My body doesn't work like yours or his, but you learn to live with the fact.
you wonder why, why you...and then it finally hits
It was meant to be, its who i am, im a diabetic,that's me.
The insulin is my life support,
I need it everyday.
No more cake or cookies ,
no more sugary goods,
Halloween is now just a day,
that diabetics say "Boo"
Im sorry Mom im sorry Dad for all the worries i cause.
Being diabetic is not a life i wished on you.
December 29th, 2014 my pancreas gave up on me.
And from that day cuts and bruises will never heal the same.
Im a diabetic that's who i am,
please look at me the same, im still the girl you once knew,
just cant digest like you.
December 29th, 2014 my pancreas didn't just give up on me,
diabetes became apart of me.
