Sighs of Endings

I finger this bulky pen its clear liquid ink in misguided lines contained drips uncontrollably off sharpened tips no rhyme or reason behind the flow as it writes me in silence i breathe deep merciless knowing it could end my story anytime it chooses

Deep... Mystical really... Just the right touch too; not overstated. You keep outdoing yourself, O Poet! have to tear myself away from your site tonight…. Cheers, Gershon

i don't know that i can... this long lasting insulin pen is malfunctioning all the time, i googled them, frequent issue, never know if i am getting enough or too much...i never know when i close my eyes, if it will be the last time... though sometimes i think it would be better

Your poem speaks of many, Sandy--the last stanza so real life--it hurts. Brilliant as always.

I am sure many can relate to this sad but real poem my friend. Though, it could end for any of us at any moment, so it is best to put fear aside and live each day to its fullest. Beautifully written but so very sad.

True we all could go at anytime but when these pens malfunction I could get too much insulin and never awaken again.

i didn't hear but heard drugs are cheaper there, for now i have insurance that covers it...(between the two types and needles 3 months runs about $900, so $300 a month if i didn't have insurance) trouble is they make us get a cheaper version (this is the cost of the cheap versions) and the pens malfunction...whereas they didn't in the more expensive brand... the USA is screwed up with the medical systems!

Hey Sandy did you hear about Bernie Sanders coming here to Canada to buy insulin? Apparently it's one tenth the price as the US. Or maybe you have insurance that covers it! Just an idea!

Thanks John. My long acting insulin pens are all malfunctioning seems to be a common issue but as you know too little insulin could kill me and too much can even quicker. I need it so each night is like playing roulette never knowing if tomorrow will come .. this pen could end my story ... hugs
