How can this be?
A person like me, Having to test before my tea?
Every meal and every snack
Why can’t they see I’ll never be free?
Why can’t I play around with my friend’s, When my diabetes goes round the bend?
It’s like nobody else has got it only me How can this be?
Does anyone really understand?
How I feel in this diabetic land?
Now I know this can be
I’m not the only me
Living with that word beginning with D!
