¿Te duele?

Diabetes
Midiendo azúcar en la sangre

¿Te duele
Cuándo piques tu dedo?
No
Lo hago por pura diversión
Lo que duele
Es hacerlo 3 veces
Para sacar una gotita
Aplastando mi dedo
Para que me sale
Tantito más
Pero lo que duele más
Es cuando los echo a perder
Los tiro a la basura
Por mis manos temblorosas
Pero lo que duele más que todo
Es morir por no hacerlo
No es opción
