Though was pre-counseled,
I left with so much trepidation, so much fear!
Fear of my future, my bright future.....
Fear of life and of death,
Fear of what to do when I return home,
Where to go and live,
I was silenced and terrified!
Who to break the silence to and with,
I felt like I was dead, oh! But living,
When I was post counseled,
I left with my head ringing
From thousands of,
"Dos" and "don'ts!"
I recalled my past times, my happiness and good old days
Oh! I felt like I was dead! But now
Smiling, laughing and eating out, quite healthy,
Making new friends of same faith and belief;
Having a good time and living' a wonderful life....
As before, with the infection,
Here in Nigeria. With,
The disease I was told to fear;
A disease for the cursed, the disadvantaged and unlucky people?
But a disease of faith and hope,
A disease that holds promises from experts and researchers of all time,
Promises of a better tomorrow, and
Promises of a fearless and infection free day,
A world cured of AIDS and where positive is turned
Negative... A wish come true!
