Diabetes Challenge: (Art) Wanted Dead or Alive (Diabetes Style)

Diabetes Blog Challenge:  Diabetes Art

Saturday Challenge:

This year Diabetes Art moves up from the Wildcard choices as we all channel our creativity with art in the broadest sense. Do some “traditional” art like drawing, painting, collage or any other craft you enjoy. Or look to the literary arts and perhaps write a d-poem or share and discuss a favorite quote. Groove to some musical arts by sharing a song that inspires you diabetes-wise, reworking some song lyrics with a d-twist, or even writing your own song. Don’t forget dramatic arts too, perhaps you can create a diabetes reality show or play. These are just a starting point today – there are no right or wrong ways to get creative!

I’m going a bit out of order here, but I have to act on my little strokes of genius when they strike.

WANTED DEAD OR ALIVE (Diabetes Style)

It’s never the same

Only the days will change

Every day

It seems I’m dosing away

Another day

Where the numbers just won’t hold

I try all night to fight that low

I’m a D-Mom

Got Glucose on my mind

I’m wanted (needed)

Dead or alive

Sometimes I sleep, Sometimes it’s not for days

The people I meet

Don’t know what’s right to say

Sometimes I tell the day

By the carbs that I treat

Sometimes when I’m alone

All I do is think

I’m a D-Mom

Got Insulin on my mind

I’m wanted (needed)

Dead or alive

I Walk for the Cure

Meters and Snacks are on my back

Appointments we keep

There’s just no turning back

I’ve tried everything

And sometimes we hit a wall

Given a million shots

And I’ve rocked them all

I’m a D-Mom

Got A1C on my mind

I’m wanted (needed)

Dead or alive

I’m a D-Mom

I’ve got Science on my side

And I’m wanted

(Needed)

Dead or Alive

Not always right

Dead or Alive

I still try

(I still try)

Until I'm Dead ... or Alive

Now, If I could get Jon and Richie to sing it…
