It could come out of nowhere
This addictions game,
I was brimming with confidence, going to the gym and had plenty of chat
Then my Dad passed away, I didn’t want to be around others, as I didn’t know where I was at.
You see, it’s about being with people you can relate to
People that you can give to, and receive during times of need,
I knew these people weren’t for me, as I felt I was going to internally bleed.
It was the biggest fight of my life,
A failed suicide attempt, by overdosing the injection of 180 units of fast insulin,
As this was against God’s will, therefore I did the cardinal sin.
Today, I am here, serving giving a little back
I am back at the gym, retained my smile when I before I wanted to curl up and die,
Today I am thankful to God, AA and the steps as I shall now say goodbye.
Recovery is never ending but love wins every day.

When you spiral
Learning Diabetes
This condition can be an almighty struggle,
My pancreas and red blood cells that no longer produce insulin and still be alive is a blessing,
We thank the legends of Banting, McCleod and Co., who did the trials and the testing.
Years ago you would enter the heavens within 6-12 months,
The management of blood sugars is most infuriating,
Yet the outcome to still be here, is most exhilarating.
If you opt to go on pens or pump, this is the life you need to get use to,
You won’t entirely be on point and you will have a couple of bad days,
Pray that one day for ann internal pancreas which can secrete the insulin and your eyes and feet are able to remain.
Thank you Kings teams, Geraldine, Dorcas, Jane, Helen and others name I have forgot,
And see these few words of gratitude, as it gives this chap’s life a worthy shot.
“Thank you Diabetes team at Kings College hospital”
