I wasn’t really dying
but the stomach aches
and the constant need
for water
the constant thirst
left me dry
and sickly.
Hospitals
and ambulance rides
and needles
Type 1 Diabetes has ruled my life for almost 3 years now.
Every moment, thought, and dream revolves around what my condition will allow.
At first, I fought against it all day.
Poetry was never my thing.
It was neat, but I would rather have been swimming.
On one fateful day, I heard something I never thought I would hear.
