Stronger

Diabetes is strong.
Some days, it is a cunning villain
Taking me by surprise.
Other days diabetes plays nice
Being cooperative
Lying in wait.
And other days, diabetes is a roaring dragon.
A foe so fierce I can barely stand.

One those days when I cannot stand
When I am losing ground
I cling to hope
I cling to those I love
Knowing I am not alone.

Diabetes is strong.
But what diabetes does not know
Is that I
I am stronger.



"The world breaks everyone and afterward many are strong at the broken places." - Ernest Hemingway
