"living with HIV"
  by RUBY RED DBL R
  - This Poem is a response to the poem I'm Positive -HIV by Mz Prose


if i'm going to tell it
i dont want to leave a bit
yall know i dont hide shit
my life was sold for a hit

i started shooting dope in 2001
i had to shoot because my nose would run
because shooting dope made me more fun
till i shot up after this one and that one
to my head no one put a gun

i didnt get the germ
from injecting alot of sperm
my viral load keeps growing
like a tape worm

i went to the clinic
was told i was positive
tried to fuck it up and everything in it
but that wont make me negative

how do i tell niggas i'm sick??
i dont, i just roll a condom on their dick
before i give it a lick
or they wanna stick
it inside me, before they prick

i put my life in these lines
so yall could not follow mistakes thats mines
pay heavy ass fines
or get done in with fork tines

hiv is not a life sentence
for instance
it doesnt mean i cant go the distance
i know gs might have some resistance

i dont care if you hate
i want people to relate
from the gate
before its too late

poet's note: i'm not as good as ms.sick prose but i just wanted to put my story out there.......i need to

dropping it behind Mz. Prose piece was brilliant first off... sidebar kudos for your strengh, you really didn't have to put this out there to us... this is a poetry site but b/c you did... you prob gonna spread the awarness that much more and I have to respect that! this is reality, right? can't run from it or sugar coat it... we have to be real about things... b/c this is your story it's poetry to me no matter if you think you didn't drop it as sick or good... I think we have to change the st...
