Diabetes charm

​Another day with this condition, a poem recited as there is another rendition.
Live with this day for one day, 
Others say they can’t, 
When I have a hypo I rather not chant. 

Actually I want to yell
But I need to stay calm, 
I rather to show the angst of a hypoglycaemia which damages the nerves for further harm. 

We came in all shapes and sizes
It’s not a size thing, just something that happens to people like me,
I am in chains with this condition, as insulin produced give me a glimmer to be free. 

But you fight
You don’t speak a word to another soul, 
It’s not personal, I want to have a laugh too
It’s on my silly terms as a controlling diabetes, I am pleased I have this.. not you.

Type 1 Diabetes fighter. 

Bloody condition. (Diabetes condition)

​Sometimes you wondered why this took place, 
This condition of not producing insulin, 
where the pancreas can no longer secretes the hormone to open up the enzyme to allow energy to form
Today is a challenge but hey, be stoic and accept this life based on the norm.

You see, I am stoic, 
I want little stress sent my way, 
People shall try their luck, so it’s in God hands who I need to speak
He says to me to ignore the irritant by turning the other cheek.

My body is tired 
I am not to be admired by living with this dreaded condition, 
Time and time again, needing to calculate, inject of change a cannula every 3 days, 
Can’t I live a normal life without feeling thirsty or tired today.

People have been the bug bear when I have lived with this,
I need to keep my distance from challenges, these comments I can honestly say: I do not miss. 

But at the end of the day, this is diabetes on pancreas level terms, 
And to be brutally honest.. there is still plenty more for me to learn.

“Life with type 1 diabetes… but I get on with it.. on my terms”

When things were less stressful

​once upon a time we use to speak to one another,
We didn’t oppose each other through none verbal communication, like messaging or texts,
Articulation, listening or sign language was our relay for a quiet word,
This world today is far too frantic, and too quick.. the mind can become a blur. 

We need words of wisdom 
People kindness…not focusing on gossip or those negative traits!
This world is about trolling and scrolling,
This angst is often hindering and reveals what is unfolding. 

We try our best,
But balance is key for all to the mind,
And those who say “I don’t know what I am talking about” leave them well behind. 

Or just pray for them, and do not question to refuse the probe faced by the brain, 
Encourage each other, be joyful and remember that ‘today’ is simply a gain.

Friday blessings

​It’s a day we thank God that we have made
As we walk this path and aim to find our way,
Don’t look towards tomorrow, as you are only promised today.

Consider others
Say a prayer for them too,
The day is unique as the week comes to a close
At this time we have gifts to use wisely, a light to balance what we chose.

I pray to God we all see the day with a smile,
And that work will always be there, and volunteering is a great opportunity to serve,
Kindness is the aspiration, that’s why we serve.

Pray for kindness and pray for peace,
Don’t bad mouth anyone, that only riles the wolf inside,
Look towards this exceptional day and don’t seek to act wild.

Balanced chat

​You can speak your thoughts as they means to you 
The walk of your life is to aspire and then you shall ensue.

You may want a debate
Or perhaps you don’t,
There is a walk we all look take;
As long as you stay humble and refuse seek that break.

Arguing for argument sake
That’s the road people seem to want to go these days,
I rather be quiet and say non-objecting words, that won’t allow my mind to fray.

They call it ‘critical thinking’
When often the answer is staring them in the face,
I am looking for the obvious, as ego and highly thought opinions I rather not share or embrace.

Every day I speak to my higher power

They say the poet feels the pain, 

The pain of others, 

The struggles they feel 

And often combat how to forego and deal. 

We are all different 

We can't be the same, 

People make suggestions, learn from the boundaries, listen and allow them to work out what gives them the chance to sustain. 

You are learning everyday

No stone shall go unturned, 

I need to be with God right now, often I am struggling with my thoughts whhere I have discerned. 

I keep quiet, 

I no longer want to argue with people who have zest, #

People who want to talk negativity, even though that is what's around

Be at peace with your thoughts, avoid the addiction and chaos.. it have no place for you.. that's what I have found.

Breathe… and take your time

​you are in a rush and you are talking,
Panting away and eventually stalling. 

Take your time 
Practical solutions is the aim to capture,
Don’t over do it, that shall lead to this rapture. 

You’ll hear the word “drama”
Those types that make something out nothing,
I just remove myself from these people, theatrics is often their stumbling. 

Then again, we are al different so there’s no change shall ever come from that,
I suppose I take a deep a breath,
That’s the place I rather be at.
