The Dawn Phenomenon

    In the grasp of the disease
Glucose is your enemy
The number is to be monitored so
Twice a day you check it dreadfully

Everything we eat causes
Your Sugar level to rise
So it’s shocking in the morning after
Sleeping you wake to your surprise

Before you eat breakfast your number
Is higher than the evening before
How can it be you didn’t snack before bed
You were conscious of the score

It can’t be true it’s gotta be a false read
Yet in fact it’s your new reality
As the body awakens there’s something
That happens to you naturally

If you’re a diabetic it’s like a demon
Planted evil seeds that spawn
And you begin to fear this thing known
As The Dawn Phenomenon
