FOR THE DIABETICS THAT FEEL LIKE SHIT
Everyday I wake up with toes I don’t know I can keep
Falling into bed wondering how well I can sleep
Waking up to shakes and asking for food
If I was alone, I don’t know what I’d do
I am awoken to juice and snacks
By a significant other telling me I’d be okay
As if this were how I felt, and they knew the facts
As if I didn’t understand, that every moment I wished it were true
Dear every girlfriend that got me food, thank you.
Dear every girlfriend that didn’t understand my emotional dips, fuck you.
Sometimes I look at my feet and wonder how long I will have them
Tattoos that the doctors tell me I will lose, or organs I wish I could hold on too.
Dear family, you don’t know what it is like, please stop asking how I am
I can’t afford the medicine to make me feel like you do everyday
Do you fear for my health? I really think that’s great, except you don’t understand
Shots aren’t the worst part of my day and I wish I could explain
The actual feeling of low blood sugar and what it does
The real-life roller coaster of highs and how it effects the ones you love
So please to all my diabetics that feel like shit, even when you do your best
Be proud of yourselves because you’ve made it this far, and for that you’re blessed.
please know you are understood and loved. I love you all.
