💙 Sending Love Only
I got diabetes long time now and it hard every day. I wake up tired legs heavy sugar go up and down don’t never stay right. Doctor keep say i need medicine but da medicine cost too much and sometimes pharmacy dont even got it. I walk there slow feet hurt bad gotta stop sit down cause I feel dizzy. By time I get in line Im worn out.

Food hard too. Stuff that good for me cost more money, and cheap food the kind make me sick. I stand in store look at fruit wish I could buy but I grab what I can afford.

Getting around town not easy. Bus ride feel long and people rush past me i move slow. I hate feel like Im in the way but my body don’t let me go fast no more. Some days I just stay home sit in chair hope tomorrow better.

Even with all that, I keep going. I tell myself I ain’t done yet. Life heavy but I still here still fighting one step at a time.
