Difference in Me
Location
Teacher, condemn me,
For I am not an athelete.
Classmates, bully me,
For I am not petite.
Break me down for what I cannot control.
Tear me apart for this illness that began at eleven years old.
Here we go another test.
My body shakes,
And my mind goes to rest.
I must leave to prick my finger again.
A low blood sugar, leading to my descend.
Maybe I am tired,
But I do not know why.
Nauseau overcomes me,
And I let out a sigh.
Take my insulin,
For my meter reads high.
Now, I end these memories of which I dwell.
There are more days in which I am feeling well.
I laugh and talk with others my age.
Luckily, they see past the difference in me.
