I know this isn't really an article but I didn't really know where to post it:
Diabetes
It isn’t a walk in the park
And sometimes it feels like I’m in the dark
All alone and scared
But I knew everyone cared
They helped me out
Instead of shutting me out
I check my sugar many times a day
And sometimes I can’t go out to play
But don’t treat me different because I have an incurable disease
Treat me the same way pretty please!

Hi Brittany,
I love your first poem, so I hope you don't mind my suggesting a few possible revisions.
Here's my version pf your poem:
DIABETES
by Brittany
It isn't a walk in the park
Sometimes it feels like I'm in the dark.
I check my sugar many times a day
Too high or too low, I can't play.
All alone, unhappy and scared
I'm grateful to everyone who cared.
Thank you guys for helping me out
Instead of blindly shutting me out.
So what if diabetes is an incurable disease
Just treat me the same. Pretty please,
...With sugar on top! (Hehe).
I think its perfect, Brit, I know you're going to enjoy looking back on this!! Very nice!
Nice Job, Brittany !

hehe I like the remade versions "with sugar on top" ending, sounds like something I would give to my english teacher just to bug her cuz she hates creativity like that :P but that was an awesome poem somewhere WAY back i wrote my diagnosis story, maybe you can find it on the stories an poems page, or if you go to my profile and check back my history
That is AWESOME!! My son is Type 1. . .I know how you must feel. Writing lovely poetry is such a positve way to express yourself. Keep it up!

WELL DONE Brittany! It's purrrfect just the way it is. Thank you for sharing :)
It's a really good poem and it really expresses how everyone probably feels. I wrote poetry too and when I get like a high or low blood sugarm they're very depressing :/
