    How dare you

    How dare you
    How dare you walk into my life again
    Uninvited

    That was not the deal
    The deal was not for you to inhabit two
    but for you to release one into the other
    I have stared at your face
    Your ugly invasive face for 16 years
    I had no power to stop you from altering my offspring at the tender innocent age of two
    Oh yeah
    I fought
    I pleaded
    I begged you
    I changed my bad habits into good habits
    I taught
    I led
    I helped others along the way
    BUT still- this is not enough for you
    You rendered me completely powerless
    How dare you

    How dare you
    Suck the life right out of people
    You hover like dark stormy clouds
    Meticulously, you linger
    You take Light from eyes causing day to become night
    You take beat from the heart
    You slow flow
    You stutter
    You stroke
    You are a trans-ischemic attacker
    You fluctuate mood
    You soften that which is meant to be hard
    And you harden that which is meant to be soft
    You numb fingers and toes
    You knife limbs
    You are a neuropathic invader,
    Making a simple journey become a difficult task
    How dare you F

    For years I have watched you
    Amputate
    Complicate
    Berate
    Depredate
    Modulate
    Mutilate
    Infiltrate
    Suffocate
    Castrate and
    Annihilate the ability
    To Procreate
    You just Take and Take and Take
    Until eventually,
    You exterminate

     How dare you walk into my life
    Uninvited
    And now with your audacity
    You have become
    My chronic disease

    lol on the ex-husband comment! Thanks for your feedback! Unfortunately, diabetes is a lifetime challenge...the episode becomes daily living but there is much worse out there that folks deal with. Thanks again!
