DIABETES ESSAY AND POEM COMPETITION 2009

Zoe 24/04 16 Diabetes

You work so hard to deal with this thing.
The fact you have it and the problems it brings.
So when you finally get control of this flaw,
Everyone arund you seems to watch you in awe.
But whats happened has happened, and it's now part of life,
So why give up in yourself, why live with such strife.
The best you can do is fight back twice as hard,
Just be careful, make right choices and play the right cards.
As they say what doesnt kill you can only make you stronger,
It's been here for a while, it'll be here for a while longer.
I should have a masters degree in what to do,
So please don't treat me any different, im just the same as you.
When people have pity it just makes me feel sad,
Do you think it makes me feel better? well it makes me so mad.
I know what i can and cannot do,
So why try to stop me, it's not upto you.
I don't care what you think is the best thing to do,
If you can't support me and my choices, then to hell with you!
