I Am Who I Am

I am my cat Mitten who is my favourite thing in the world,
And all the courage she has given to me while I have Diabetes,
I am the many injections I have to do each day,
I am the many needles used on my left hand fingers,
I am the yearly blood tests which frighten me the most,
And the smell of the Hospital,
I am the support I have had over the years on my Diabetes,
I am the feelings of all the type 1 Diabetics in the world,
I am Friends For Life which I enjoy going to feeling unawkward.
I am Ella-Mae Campling - proud to say I haven't given up hope for the cure,
I am all these things and these people,

I am who I am because of everyone.
