Clamining those who look like me
Share my skin
My youth and vivacity
The Fear?
That I may never get to see my full potential.
Fear that one day I'll hear those devastating words
"You Have AIDS"
An illness, uncurable
Taking the lives of those around me, slowly and painfully
Affecting women, children, men...this illness has no face
The Fear.
It spreads
Devours lives and rips famillies apart
Causes agony, unexplainable
Some don't care if they spread it
Others share this infectious monster knowingly
Many don't even know they have it...



THE AWARENESS?
We should all go out and make SURE we get tested.
