Diabetes

When a dear friend has a diabetic coma with physical pain,
It's hard to watch them fight for their lives and want to live again.
It puts in perspective the lives we all live,
Some of us are stronger - some have no more to give.

My friend and I struggle with mental illness unknown,
To many outsiders we look normal as the day we were born.
But inside lurks a monster waiting to get his due,
We have to stay alert otherwise we are doomed.

Prayers go up to the Father of all creation,
Asking for protection, healing and other words in summation.
Does the God of Heaven know what mental illness is all about?
Of course he does, look at Judas, who hung himself!

In closing I say don't worry about the facts.
For the facts don't mean anything when there's no one to listen.
