Dear, Osteogenesis Impefecta
All my life, you break me
You crack, shatter, compund, and fracture my life.
I hated you, hours of surgery, years of hurt, a lifetime of scars.
Then, you changed me
For the better
I watched as the fire died in her eyes. I knew it when she succumbed to the overpowering fight
I felt it when the life drained from her cold fingers
I felt her once lively arms go limp in my tightly-gripping palms
I got aids.
I got em real bad.
Every day i get up to find true love,
i look in the bars, and the cars and the stores,
but when we hit the sack and do loves chores,
I give them my aids.
He rests encaged
his heart entangled as the Little Red Raven has done.
The school children shout, they jeer, and laugh, as they say:
Aye! It’s you who got pecked by the Little Red Raven
It has been a long tiresome day .
But for some reason, I don’t want to go home .
Oh, I know why I don’t want to go home yet.
I need to put a few in me first.
ACT UP
because some people can't fight for themselves.
ACT UP
because silence equals death.
ACT UP
becasue many don't know it still out there.
It can be given to you
It can be passed on
There’s no way to avoid it
As long as you move along
It was once like Ebola
A fear of instant death
It changed our lives forever
The thought of it makes us shiver
Some still fear the name
Others fear the shame
We call it AIDS
You're crying ,sick and your pain is so badIf only you would have listen to the plan I hadSaying no to drugs and sex is not a crimeI have said no over a thousand times
10101: my home.
A place of beauty, nature, tranquility,
serene.
And yet here we are.
Victims.
Homelessness, poverty, pride, HIV
AIDS.
We all want to be happy. Fall in love, get married.
We all want that fairy tale ending.
We fail to see the evil in the poeple we say we love. Because we don't know what love is. Or the damage it does.
She’s not that popular
Not many know her name
She’s not the type to play around
She’s not with those games
Independence and self-worth
Not looking for a Net Worth
Just wants to be successful

"You don't know what I say in my mind
Close to my heart"--"get your face out of their behind!"
"You think you're so this and so that
all that pride and ego talking, take a seat"...so she sat
Now I lay me down to sleep
I pray dear lord my soul you’ll keep
I Wake up in a strange place
Not knowing where or even who I was
Ladies, do y'all not hear,
What's goin on in this world? Lemme make this clear.
About 300 THOUSAND women contracted AIDS in the year,
2007 alone. Now that's a number everyone should fear.
She averted her eyesAnd twiddled her thumbsAnd shifted her weightOnto her other foot.
And finally she told himAnd his eyes widenedAnd he threw a pillowAnd left the room.
Three years have passed since,
There is no salvation from the mistakes,
From the agony and pain I have caused my friends and kin.
From the wrong I have done in this grim,
This grimmest of days, months, years.
Who is the bully?that walks the hallsall big and badcan you really tellthat his world is upside downthat his parents have disappeared
You've walked this side before,
And I've seen your time wary face.
Seasons made you older, lines are drawn
That cannot be erased.
Denis holds her, tender loving, brand new to the world An unwritten sheet, ready to live Denis smiles, happy again. This new life has healed him from the loss of Johnny.
Scarlet Letter , a message to the masses
There's a killer in our sheets, so rap it up before you catch it
Or check it up before you pass it , no exceptions
To the slash list, so please avoid, the dash, on that
Homelessness, anarchy, terrorism
This is reality.
Wars, drugs, abortions
This is reality.
Global warming, corruption, debt
This is reality.
AIDS, alcohol, smoking
This is reality.
She still remembers him.
The only man to know her touch
She gave him all she had to offer
but he didn't leave her much
more than some memories.
The only ones she'll ever know.
