I feel so dirty,
All so used,
Now so old,
Not so new,

I didn't get pregnate,
But I didn't have fun,
At least I'm not carrying,
Around a small son,

All my freinds,
They help me out,
"Girl why oh why
did you take this route?"

I'm no longer perfect,
Not even a little great,
Not so innocent,
Never a saint,

No longer "virgin",
They can all see,
Why did I do it?
I know that's not me.

My life is ruined,
I'm only 14, I have HIV,
The only one I can blame,
Is no other then me.
Just to let everyone know, I am a virgin and don't have HIV

I am glad to see the last line.  This poem
is reflective of many who are still children
yet growing far too fast.  Peer pressure
and hormones are a terrible tag team!

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Kathryn, I am so happy and relieved you are not a victim to this, but this poem made me cry because there truly are sadly many victims in which this is actually the case, who are growing up too fast and their lives at risk! (sad sigh) My heart goes out to them all and I pray for all the children, sweet friend, God Bless You, you have a golden compassionate heart, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Kathryn, thank you for sharing!



May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Faeriegirl-
This is absolutely... uh... man, there just aren't words...
Congrats on a smashing write.

We are all equal but we’re individually different
and able to reach the impossible if we try.

yes I too am glad for the disclaimer.  HIV killed my brother, brother-in-law, and friends.  Very well written.  Thank you for the emotional outlet.

I notice that your replies here are almost exclusively from men -- reeled us all in, you did!

And we're the ones who most need to read this one.
