D-Blog Week Day 2 - Poetry

Today's D-Blog Week challenge: compose a bit of poetry about diabetes.

*sigh* poetry is not my strength. 

But diabetes is all about pushing ourselves outside of our comfort zones so here goes nothing.

We get stronger 

It scares me
I pretend that it doesn't
It hurts sometimes
I try not to flinch
I have been doing this for 4,148 days now
You would think it would be easy

But it's not

It motivates me
I don't let it become an excuse
It stays in full view
I wear my pump with pride
I have been doing this for 4,148 days now
You would think it gets easier

But it doesn't

We just get stronger
