Diabetes is really really really hard

Yesterday I wrote this poem about diabetes. I find writing to be many things, its a way for me to express how I see the world without having to verbally express. My thoughts can get jumbled and I like to use words on the page to iron them out. Poetry is even easier to write than prose. the words don't have to make sense. They can just be an expression of an inner landscape. A brushstroke, a paint splash. Incomplete feelings that suspend in the air. For me living with diabetes has many shades. There's the part where I control things to make living with it easier. There's the part where things feel really out of control. And then there is just getting on with life. Remembering that who I was before my diagnosis is still me.
