"Pity Me"
Please don’t pity my HIV and me!
All the hypocritical looks and stares don’t really affect me!
I know if I lied about my status, strangers wouldn’t neglect me!
I’d rather be honest and upfront; for legal and moral reasons I have to be real!
Conforming to the coward’s way like the majority in my shoes; would only multiply the disgust I internally feel!
Please don’t attempt to pity my HIV and me!
You’re probably just a test result away from a virus that I don’t own exclusively!
I don’t have hate for the man who did this to me because he didn’t do it alone!
The truth is I haven’t the slightest idea who he was; I doubt I even knew his name a shame I solely own!
Contrary to how good my body looks it masks the infection I contain!
But, I don’t feel sorry for myself; I simply have lack of self-respect to blame!
Please don’t attempt to pity my HIV and me!
You’re probably just 5 minutes of sexual pleasure away from being just like me!
It amazes me how many of you “All of a sudden” want to be my “FRIEND”!
After brief conversations I’ve found 9 out of 10 of you Identify with me contrary to what you pretend!
No one is doing me a favor by trying to “Get to know” me or by keeping what happens between us on the “Low”!
Those fools must think I was born yesterday; I’m hip to the game despite what my innocent appearance may show!
Please don’t attempt to pity my HIV and me!
I’m not angry at the world or even myself, it’s only human to practice ignorance occasionally!
Life goes on; I will be alright; this condition was my blessing is disguise that forced me to slow my roll!
I have more important things to concern myself about; like cherishing my family, friends and repairing my damaged soul!
In a sense life has just begun, YES there’s still so much more left to do!
For those practicing something totally different than what they preach…please read the message below because I created just for you!
Please don’t attempt to pity my HIV and me!
Only GOD and you know how close to being in my shoes you are; NO; not even you can cheat destiny!
