Dear Diabetes

You have controlled my life
For way too long
It is time for me to take control
The constant highs
The constant lows
You have put me through
Is no longer going to make me weak
But instead, is going to make me strong
I say goodbye
To the control you have on me
I’m now in control
A new beginning starts now
A beginning where I have my say
And where your opinion doesn’t matter
This is my life
A life where you are powerless
