Poetry by ME!

I'm glad that y'all made your way over to my poetry. Many psychiatric  experts suggest poetry as a way of improving your mental health. I definitely agree with this statement. Diabetics are 3 times more likely to develop depression and everyday countless struggle with eating disorders. I hope by normalizing diabetes, we can decrease these horrifying statistics.

So this is the point in the Diabadass Poetry where you start to see this website develop into a diabetic support page, this is where the content becomes humor only us diabetics understand. Hopefully this helps any struggling diabetic get well on their way to be becoming a Diabadass. 

​

So let's get started with the poem that made me realize that Diabetes can be used as an asset. While yes we are put through constant crap everyday, we also have some perks. So if the idea of spreading mental health awareness within diabetics using humor excites you get started by reading my first poem "Unlimited Excuses".

Unlimited Excuses

​

How many normal people can get a free fast pass at an amusement park?
The answer is Nobody
Also sneaking in snacks is fine because you are basically a monarch
All these perks because you don't have a working body

Yes, occasionally you will feel like poop
laying in your bed with diabetic ketoASSidocius
then moving to the bathroom to throw up in the toilet bowl loop
The amount of free excused absences you then receive is atrocious

So now you know these excuses are actually perks of the diabetic
If you only see the negatives you will live in a lot of strife
If you aren't optimistic about this disease you are pathetic
So have fun with it and live your best life

High Achoo

​

My blood sugar is high
Ears are hot and I am sick
​I need insulin

D.I.A.B.E.T.E.S

​

D**k is what am when my blood sugar is out of wack
Insulin keeps my eyes uncrossed and off my back
Always having scars on my fingers makes me look cool
"Benjamin has diabetes" is a popular joke in school
Eating the whole kitchen coming up from low blood glucose
Testing my blood sugar to help calculate the insulin dose
Estimating my blood sugar when I am lazy
​​Silly because my blood sugar is high while also feelin' hazy

Freak Drawer Handles

​

Screw you drawer handles

If I could I would burn you all like candles

Every time I walk in the kitchen

You cause me to start screaming and b**chin'

Grasping at my tubing, ripping out my site

Acting like a baby who always has to bite

It's not only drawer handles that I hate

It is every handle even the one on a silver gate

Some people say shots are easier

This might be true because to you no one is sleazier

Whenever you rip out my site you cause me to stress a ton

So i say we make everything electric and open them
