keep you silent

Hi, hello

Need about 45 minutes of your time

Before we begin

Want to mix up a little spin

Realize something

Don’t have to answer

We get pretty personal

But the more said

The more can be done

So sit down, let down your guard

And begin

 

Need you

Want you

To get a clue of who I am

Understand me

Love me

To see where I stand

My eyes

My heart

My soul

Should you want to go

I will take you there

To a place where I live

Breath

And strive to survive

 

I try not to think

Loose myself with a blink

Of an eye

I cry

My emotion lie

In the midst

A mist of anger

Tell me

How to exhale

Dusk sets on my spirit

Heart is heavy

With whimsy lyric

I fall

Flimsy

Down to the sting of my soul

No longer whole

 

Disease taking over

Bursting inside

Not even trying to hide

Eating away

So nothing is left

Raw with flesh and blood

Slowly dieing

Feeling alone and lonely

Severing myself in two

Which half to choose

Out of the ashes

A walking dead

Corps left to be fed

Nothing but frailty

Stale to the world

They walk with life

A gift

All I see is death

Left with a stiff

Frail core

Not quite human they say

So know me

Show me

Where to go

How to slow

The hunger of love

And of acceptance

 

Kept confidential

Trust set aside

Lust to be denied

Dance upon my grave

No one will notice anyway

Because invisibility is my name

At least that’s the game

You play

Alienating

Discriminating

Justifying

While lying

Maintain your distance please

I have a life to cease

 

Itemizing

Criticizing

Me

Fuck you

You don’t know me

You don’t own me

Or my life

I live the way I choose

I give not to loose

My identity

Who I am

Not to be mistaken

Fade out of mind

I am out of time

So relinquish my soul

Magnify my secrets

So what if I have HIV

That is not who I am

What I am

Or why I am

Damn

It is only a fan

Of me

I am not a parasite

Do not like to be looked at

Neither a stat

For I am a human being

A fellow of humanity

Do not take this as insanity

For I am reputable

Not repulsive

I did not get myself here

I tried to stay clear

But it happened one day

And this is why I am this way

So choose to see

And live to free

Yourself

Leave your prejudices

Behind

And dine with me

Drink with me

Be gay with me

As in merry with me

Ask questions

Prick

Walk in my shoes for a change

The footsteps of a stranger

Do not desensitize

Feel with your heart

I am just at the start

Of me

No one listens

Everyone stiffens

When I come into the room

You don’t understand

People think they can attract it

With a touch on the hand

I detect fear within

There is no way I can win

Because I have already lost

Without even a word spoken

They take their token

And leave

 

So this is a glimpse

Of who I am

What I am

And why I am the way I am

Now what can you do

You have services too?

Listen honey this is just a bit

Don’t take off more than you can chew

Remember I want you to get a clue

Of who I am

What I am

And why I am

This way

 

So live your life

While I walk in strife

But one thing to remember

I am a member

Just like you

Trying to live

Just like you

So do not give

Your charity

But sympathize

And more importantly empathize

With me

Then you will see

My soul

Which I have bared whole

 

OK

Well thank you for your time

Thank you for sharing

Sorry I can do no caring

I’ll just write you up as client

Keep you silent

Have a nice day!

This way
