Laura Alaniz

Bionic Woman

My pump
Constant companion
Of my disease
My sensor
Resembles a feeding
Bed bug
I love you
I hate you
I fight with you
Every day
Bells and alarms
I hear in my dreams
Everyone says
It makes life easier
How is this easy?
I chose you
Not for convenience
But because
Numbers don’t lie
