No matter what… as long as you try….

​As long as you try, what else can you ask?
The life you shall lead will receive rejections, that’s part of the game
Don’t worry, the path God wants you to work towards shall always face trials,
It’s just that the outcome may be short or take a while.

As long as you try, 
Try with all your love, heart and soul, 
Love is part of the fight, that side of you shall never go. 

There’s a saying ‘where there is love there is hope’,
That’s why we live in hope until we all come to an end, 
People will move forward, they need to find themselves in order to mend.

Look at life
Look at love, 
Look at intimacy with your higher power, 
People will come and people shall go, that’s life.. accept that despite how direct that message is,
Just live for the present, you shall have plenty of chances to touch that time
As we aim to do out our best, and through your higher power…. That’s just fine.

Just want a day off (Diabetes poem)

​Can’t we have a day off from this condition? 
Calculating carbs before injection,
And there is the formula to action we are always introduced, 
And hoping that your sugars won’t go high or low, in what might appear in-direct abuse. 

It’s not easy, as life needs to be managed as well
This is a branch to deal with, as I have plenty of hypo stories to tell. 

I just want to eat without injecting or programme numbers into a pump controller, 
Don’t get me wrong, I have learned a lot about this condition, especially when you become stoic and prevent other people getting closer. 

It’s a journey, and it needs to be embraced without thinking too much about this disease 
And you just want to have a day off, not an off day as this struggle isn’t a breeze. 

The struggles are there 
The people around won’t always underhand what you are feeling, 
They might say: “I can’t live with that.” “Great” I would say to myself not knowing what to do next, 
Just a day at a time with this condition, as the moments faced won’t always be perfect.

Before you do anything?

​Before you do anything pray for affirmation, 
This prepares you for today and avoid any fickle condemnation. 

The gratitude for today will always suffice,
Learn to be kind and the prayerfulness to be also nice. 

Surrender to the highest power
Love with all your might,
It's trickery out there, as you are already aware there needs to be a fight.

But there is hope with your higher powers guidance,
Along with that there is plenty of defiance.

Housing… where are they?

​It’s impossible to get the support 
I am sofa surfing and feel a little distort, 
No level of representation there to help, 
And seeking to find a way
It’s only the higher power that keeps your mind at bay.

Where is the support? 
‘No obligation’ it says on the housing act,
Trying like no end, that is where it’s at!

So what do you do?
There are hostels that move you into a flat, but you need to have fallen on hard times first
It’s like a desert well that wants your help but can’t help your thirst. 

The times are difficult to understand
What do we need to do? Hold up our hands?
We can only pray for a better outcome one day
As this poem is looking for hope as our hearts rest for today.

Learning the art to be there for each other.

​Some situations you say ‘yes’ to
And other situations you shall say ‘no’,
The art of that answer is to find your energy source, 
and if you have burned yourself out, try not to feel any remorse.

Some people you shall love
And some people you love but choose not to want to be around, 
It doesn’t need to be your blood family, that is what I have recently found. 

You need to focus on you
Be the best person you can aim to be, 
There is a higher power looking out for you, so take account of you and remove the chains which have strangled you and me.

Some people lift your spirit 
And others can make you laugh, 
The controlling nature of others can make you stoic, so pray first before feeling harsh.

Controlling (Diabetes Poem)

​This world would pose many challenges, 
And with this insulin dependancy, there are plenty of organ damages. 

But we have to fight 
And have a ‘off day’, which there’s no control, 
This insulin calculation is something we need to manage daily, at the times that are fast and then slow. 

We want the best life for us and others, 
But the empathy we want, where we want others close to us to understand 
Besides, there are plenty of challenges, especially in the deaf ears from which they land. 

The syringing of the insulin
The carb counting and managing activity with a D.A.F.N.E. Programme that keeps us alive.
There’s no cheat day that we can have, therefore often we need to contrive.

Say now, I am eating a baguette with meat inside,
The bread is my carb counting exercise which I need to focus on,
Avoid to over inject the insulin, and avoid getting that calculation wrong.

If you had to pray for anything?

​if you prayed for anything
What would it be? 
A cash delight
A hope of seeing the light to your future
Or what suits you best for the future.

If I prayed for anything, I would pray for a humble place and peace,’
Conversation that’s not debate and a humble retreat. 

The retreat would be in the fields, far away from people, 
Those types can rile and put a bad taste in your mouth.. you know? Those that are brittle and sometimes feeble. 

People can leave you be, 
Through that pattern you are often set free,
I push others away unless I want to talk to you, 
As it’s only God, or how you see him, to see you through.
