Diabetes
February 17, 2009
Diabetes
It's not easy being me
Tall, black, and beautiful
Sugars to check
Secrets to keep
what does this mean
Bodyguards day and night
No sleep, no chance to be me
NO snacks or candy,just sugar-free
No ice cream, just meat
No chance to be me
Why so many sweets
Just be like me, watch your teeth
watch your weight
and you'll be a saint
ups and highs
downs and lows
how can this be
It's not easy being me
