Dear Diabetes

You're that stray dog I fed and will never leave me alone

Dear Diabetes

You're that spoiled child that only wants more and more and more

Dear Diabetes

You're that needy girlfriend I've never had

That keeps texting and calling me everyday when I wake up, before I eat breakfast, before I eat lunch, when I get home from school, before I eat dinner, before I go to bed

Dear Diabetes

You're that bully that keeps pushing me down 

But everyday I get back up

Dear Diabetes

You are that personal trainer that has turned my overweight father into the strong, pseudo muscly man he is now

Dear Diabetes

You are the best friend I never asked for

Every decision I make includes you

Every conversation includes you

You are always with me night in day

You are always in my mind

Dear Diabetes

You are that one true love I've yet to find

Who I day dream about

Who I constantly think about

but, Diabets

I'll never let you be my bully

I'll never let you knock me down

You'll always be my personal trainer, pushing me to my limit always

You'll always be my stray dog

my clingy girlfriend

my best friend

my one true love

the bane of my existance

The reason I cry

I cheer

I laugh

I cry

I get happy

I become sad

or grumpy

or upset

but, Diabetes

You'll never be my crutch

I'm just a diabetic guy who likes to play bass and sing. Hopefully, people will see what I see in this, where no matter what you're crutch may be, it has control of your life, so instead of being upset about it, take how it is and make the best out of it and become stronger from it.
