Gravity

When you found love, you fly without wings Upward, up into the sky I intended to fly Innocent as I was, I became a victim Gravity won't let me fly where eagles fly Future was crystal clear I could see the light towards the end of a dark tunnel I was flying amongst big birds Gravity kept on pulling me down In an instant my status was out My pathetic infected body, my new label Humiliated as I was, I stood up to my label Strong as I was, gravity pulled me down I did not want to give up to my misery Positive I had to be for my unborn baby High above limits, I yearned to dwell Gravity overpowered my intellect ability Streets became my new home Down and out, drowning to my own tears Empty as a tin wide open, except my baby inside me I had to push against gravity Believe it or not Gravity stings better than its rivals Gravity has lost its animosity Many rose above their positive status H I V is about being positive It has no gravity but inspire positive lifestyle Like a fish eagle I had to snitch my life back Happy ending is not an illusion

Wow, what a statement! "THE GRAVITY OF LIFE CAN PULL ONE DOWN WHEN THE EXISTANCE OF FEAR RULES LIKE A FORCE IN ONES SELF BELIEVE, INNER POWER IS THE KEY TO PULL DOWN THE GRAVITIES BEHIND EVERY CIRCUMSTANCES OF LIFE".

Yes, it is a dread illness..Some who are innocent of the "label" that goes with the illness have been infected and to me that is even worse..Enjoyed reading..Thanks for stopping by..That was a good scripture verse to associate with my poem..Sara

This poem is very close to my heart. i can recall the dark era where people used to be terrified by HIV and AIDS but through the NGO's hard work, HIV and AIDS is losing its momentum. I’m grateful for that. I dedicate this one to everyone who rose above HIV and ADIS.
