Breathe Slow
------------------
i wished i knew.
i wished i understood.
why the things in life
arent always good.
i pray hard and hope for the best
but every time i try,
it just becomes one big mess.
i look for a way out
to salvage my soul
even if i escape,
i cant seem to outrun the cold.
it worries me so
i cant see our friendship withering
our only option is to grow.
but now the world has changed
the thorns are none
i am so amazed!
because the HIV is gone.
i laugh and cry
tears of joy
the list goes on
for you and i.
Trey was awesome
he carried me thru
there's nothing more i can do
but just to smile and say,
thank you.
there's no one better for me
and there's never going to be.
it is you that i love,
for all of eternity.
i cant say that every thing is back to normal
but we do our best
and try not to be too formal.
what happened, happened.
nothing's going to change that.
contagious by touch, it might not be
but that does not mean we let go easily.
Eleanor was lucky
she could have been hurt
the next time she does it,
i'll make sure she's alert.
we would do well not to do what she did.
it is very risky
unless you want to be dead meat.
HIV is no laughing matter
in fact, we should read up
to understand it better.
take necessary precautions
just to be safe
and make sure he's clean
you dont want a stinker on your bed.
this is a virus that cant be cured
we can put it at bay
but it will never go away.
because the HIV virus is here to stay.
it is smart and will take control
but it is up to us to stand up and take hold
of the situation that makes us despair
this is the truth
so everyone, beware.
the fight is not yet won
but with the help of many
we can conquer it all.
dont sit back, watching people die
get out there, do something
you'll never know unless you try.
when hard times come
do not fret
just breathe slow
and you'll realize to path
that you should go.
-Jesse
