A third poem from my “quality of life” series, “hypoglycemia” details both the mental state and the overall severity of a Type 1 Diabetic experiencing a hypoglycemic attack. Your headspace becomes increasingly frantic and your thoughts/actions become solely survival-based.

The Second Poem from my “quality of life” series.
quality of life (the healthy and the sick)
The First Poem in my “quality of life” series: The “quality of life” series details the self-reflexive understanding of a disabled man coping with his diseases and his overall livelihood to a world who marginalizes the voice of the disabled. The poet uses real scenarios from his own life to craft evocative scenes depicting the inner workings of the mind in a way only possible by being a member of the “sick”.
