Our Diabetes
I am selfish,
And lazy
I don’t do the things I should
I don’t get better
And it can kill me
It will kill me
If I don’t help myself
But I won’t help myself
I won’t
I had a revelation
I won’t do this for me
I will do this for the kid
Who can’t eat cupcakes
And birthday cake
And ice cream because
It could kill him
I will do this for the kid who
Cries at the mere sight of a needle
(I don’t blame him)
I will do this for the kid
Who will never get better
In his entire life
I can get better but,
I won’t get better
So I won’t do this for me
I will do this for you
Thank you for giving me hope
Thank you for letting me live
