Diabetes
April 19, 2012
Prick my fingers
count my carbs
scent of insulin lingers
I cause myself harm
to stay alive another day
don't try to understand
it's not like it matters what I say
about my callused hands
and I will do this again
more and more and more
of course I'll stop when
someone finds me a cure.
