Day to Day Thoughts

Everyday is like this.....Everyday.....
My family tells me to get a real job. Said I'm
healthy, your not sick..... What do they know... do
they see me? I am sicker than they think, but I do
hide it very well... I have tooo... for my boys....
And my poor boys, they do so much chores, cause
I don't have the energy to. I'm always so tired...And
the stuff they have to put up with when people find
out their moms got HIV.... they are so strong, so
caring and so loving, I wish I could do more for
them....
Forget about friends and a life.... I live for
my kids..... their the only ones that sees me for ME
and not an HIV infected person...... Everyone is
aways so worried that they will get it from me.... I
feel like frankenstein........
I have an education, but for all the good that
does me..... who wants an HIVer working for
them.....They may infect every client.....

Being HIV isn't easy. Life will suck. But it's still
a life.
