I Am Not Different

I am a child who is diabetic
and I will not be apologetic

I will not be embarrassed or ashamed
for I am not to blame

I am very brave and take injections everyday
always fighting infections along the way

I have days of dizziness when my sugar gets to low
so I may need to slow

While others have desert that every child loves
I'm under the thumb and can have none

I am proud of who I am!
So when you look at me I am not different
'I'm Simply Me'!

1/27/15  T Reams   for my nephew Cabe
