The condition shapes you (Diabetes Poem)

Life with this condition isn't all bad

We just struggle with our auto immunity, and sometimes we can go mad. 

 

And their people who treat you like a c.nt!

When we struggle with our physiology and mental health, so there might be a knife waiting for you so go away before I eventually hunt 🤣. 

 

This life can be unfair, but that is life in general 

People are not there to support, especially your diabetes hypo need, 

it shows people can be selfish, as their apathy tends to breed. 

 

So us with an autoimmune attack that attacks the mind

It's our faith in God that can calm us down... well that's that I find. 

 

So manage the carb counting, injecting and food to consume,

this condition is very controlling, well! that is what I presume.

It’s feels like yesterday (For my Thea Despo❤️)

​Hi Thea, how are you today? 
I still you like many others who are around 
I know you are looking over the ones you love…that would be you all over.. I found. 

You were a calm and beautiful soul
You made me feel comfortable when I felt tired, 
You supported me when I faced anxiousness 
You were the archetypal who I looked up too,
You said: “go and make yourself a cup of tea and be next to me”, 
There are not many people like you today, that’s what I see.

You would have been 81 today 
Or should I be still counting the age like if you are still around? 
You were my friend, family member and someone I love, even accepted me when I started to clown.

We all miss you… that’s without a shadow of doubt;
The high rate ones are still here making plenty of noise, 
You were real, humble, loving and a shrewd business woman with plenty of poise. 

We miss you, that won’t ever stop
And one day we will all be together with a welcome hug,
Thank you for your life, as today I was unable to shrug. 

“Happy birthday Thea, Auntie Denise…”

You don't have to be understood… (AA Poem)

​When recovering you need to understand why?
You don’t need to prove yourself to anyone, as the battle started on day 1;
This journey isn’t particularly kind nor could be fun. 

We live to learn why we do what we do,
I know I didn’t want to speak to anyone when having a drink;
I felt others didn’t understand, so the alcohol numbed my head in order to escape and not think.

I wanted to relax
Be at peace with this lovely taste in my mouth,
And there was the powder that gave me an almighty lift,
I was very dangerous to be around, as the want to live wasn’t there… nor could I stay on solid ground. 

You go through this life asking ‘why’, ‘what’ and ‘hope’
Do any of us really know the answer when addictions hit you hard,
We are not from a Utopia society, where things are not ‘right’
This is a new life to overcome this addiction journey, as sobriety has now become our new life.

Today is all we have.

​‘Carpe dieme’
Seize the day, 
People with pragmatic thoughts can’t always predict ahead,
And even if you are gifted with that attribute, anything can be done or said.

We only have today
Enjoy it the best you,
Don’t worry of others opinions of you, or the way you react, 
Letting go is healthy and allows you to detach.

We can’t stay around forever 
That’s not possible, no matter how deep you look into the question, 
Humble your heart for a humble, through that there is always a lesson. 

We can all be apprehensive or not sure,
I ask the question time and time again, 
Remember, this day is for you my evolving friend.

Resourcefulness

​No one knows what’s going to happen next?
We try or hardest and learn to seek for zest.

I was self righteous and lied to myself to say I had a problem back then,
Drink and drugs didn’t argue with me, as they were my best friend, 
What was the point having a normal life?
Then again, the impact is tremendous the paralysing causes strife. 

I have met some big personalities on the way 
And like most people; you will make a friend, and their are others you won’t understand,
The aim of recovery is to find and rebuilt the person waiting to come out
Everyone on this path needs to know what this road is all about. 

There is the 12 steps or S.M.A.R.T.  way to help you to overcome 
The controlling self has lost its way, 
Be open to your addictions, as recovery is here to stay.

Here and the present

​We are here 
We can laugh or shed a tear,
No chaos in the light
The present is stillness and within sight. 

The now
The present 
As there’s no going back 
And forward isn’t guaranteed, 
We are looking for a way forward in order to succeed.

Today, this very instance!
The way the light, truth and way
There is always a time for our hearts to stay present.. just for today. 

So goodbye 
As you read these words to humble and digest, 
Knowing someone is praying for you, so be graceful, merciful as well as blessed.

You get to a stage

​You get to a stage in life and wonder where to turn,
The tears have come out now, so now you need to discern.

People wanting the best for each other 
Or the shit stirrers are still around,
I have learned don’t entertain those di.kheads, they aren’t that profound. 

You may go to the gym
Or go for a brisk walk to clear the mind, 
The blessings out there is magnanimous, we shouldn’t always become blind!

Pray on this day,
Meditate and be at peace with the skies and the earth,
You don’t always need to feel let down, those acts shall remove the hurt.
