DEAR HIV/AIDS

There are things you need to know
Things you made me go through
Things I’m going through
For the record
I had a perfect life
Then you came
You made me an orphan
You made me feel worthless
I faced discrimination
I lost friends
Became a lone ranger
I could be separated
They saw me as a corpse
I was even called a demon
I was stressed I lost weight
At a young age I knew pain
They never saw anything in me to gain
I could be left outside in the rain
In school my performance was stunning
Soon I dropped and was the worst
I lost hope, tried suicide it failed
My eating was rationed
I overworked while her children starring
I never felt love since then
I doubted God’s existence
I couldn’t believe he saw all this
And did nothing
To some people I became a burden
And so they forced me out
I became homeless
Now I roam in the streets
Begging is the order of the day
I hardly eat
Rags is what I Wear
I’m not schooling anymore
There is no drug I haven’t used
Are you happy now?
Don’t you see my tears?
Don’t you have Mercy?
Don’t you have a conscious?
Can’t you just walk away??
Leave us in peace please!!
