Halla Margrét — Hægt og hljótt
Near the peak, you’re climbing like a bird
Make the viewpoint, but your vision’s blurred
Feel fulfilled but can’t enjoy
Bloodstream’s faulty, you sit down annoyed
Have you noticed when you’re set to ski
Is when you feel this sudden need to pee?
Which means you’ll take twelve layers off
So when you hit the slopes you just blast off!
We’re plagued by highs and lows
Highs like when we quench our thirst
Then come lows
Tiredness moments are the worst
Cursed to live through this emotion flux…
Shaky legs, it’s finally your turn
Then you feel tingling, ache, or burn
Can’t perform like you would wish
Thankfully no hissing – Ditched concerns!
We get through highs, then lows
Rollercoaster’s on, non-stop
Calm’s not close
Plummet down, then soar to top
Byes, hellos…
Different states just come and go
Wise to pause
Accept the symptoms and move on
Having type 1 diabetes sucks!
