Just a little prick at first

It all started from birth

The names and taunts

My dreams they did haunt

"you cant do this"

"your not good enough"

The voices cry inside my head

To this moment they all lead

Just a little prick to draw out blood

Then meds. and more tests do flood

Your whole life youve struggled and tried

From this disease you could die

Rounder youll keep growing and growing till you drop

Then your heart is sure to stop

Cancer is a possibility

This is your life youll never be free

Two in the morning and two at night

Is  this even worth the fight

Eighteen years of not being right

It feels like I dont belong

It feels as if Im all wrong

Why did He do this to me

Why this life of misery

The screams come loud and faster

"Whatever you do youll never matter!"

You are broken... diseased

That what I always believed

Till one night I was broken down

And in that moment the light I had found

From the darkness I have become:

Someone Strong, Independant, Determined

 My disease would no longer take

It would not haunt me every moment I was awake

I would fight for the gift given to me

My happiness, my right for eternity

I would make a difference by helping another

Starting with my mother

I can be a vessel

A strong role model to those

Who are still ashamed of something 

They cannot control

I could be the light at the end of that dark hole

All it took was just a prick at first

To make me think that I was the worst

All it took was a little blood

To make me feel like I was broken and damaged

But in one single night, in one single moment

I was determined to end this strife

and chose what was right for my life

A path that has in fact helped several other people

A path that has made them realize they are more than a disease

They are Strong, Beautiful, Amazing

They are Powerful

They are Worth it

They are Amazing individuals capeable of extrordinary things

All it took was a single sugar test

Just one little prick

To change my life real quick
