Positive


She’s not that popular Not many know her name She’s not the type to play around She’s not with those games
Independence and self-worth Not looking for a Net Worth Just wants to be successful Before her date with the hearse
But just like any teen Emotions get involved And just like any teen Things start to evolve
She meets this boy High school is his kingdom He was the Star Quarterback And loved his freedom He thought she was cute and Needed to be approached But she was sort of shy So he showed her the ropes
Just like any fling, it started steady and slow She loved the pace, but he wanted to start the show She liked him, she did, but she didn’t feel ready She wasn’t trying to swipe her V-Card When they weren’t going steady
He’s been ready from the jump And is growing impatient He wants to get her in his sheets, Downstairs in his basement
She’s battling something she’s not sure she can win If he liked her now, well, did he like her then? Insecurities getting the best of her, This situation is stressing her He said if they don’t do something, He’s moving on without her!
She doesn’t know what to do, She doesn’t know what to do She went from being miserable To having a boo Movie nights and hickies She was Minnie to his Mickey And everything was great But in order to keep it She had a decision to make And she did.
She couldn’t do it Her conscious wouldn’t let her And just like he said he would, He left her She had morals and respect That’s something he’ll never get And that’s why she let him go.
Good thing she did Because she heard something that couldn’t be She found out that the “King of high school” has HIV
All she could think was “What if?” “What if that was me?” “It would’ve been my first and last experience of intimacy” “A million people affected,” “And number a million and one would’ve been me”
No girl came near him He was called all types of names He even came to her with the same old games Thinking of her morals she said no once again And she wishes him the best as they remain friends.
As time goes by he gets really sick Refuses to take his medication, So he had to tell his coach he quits No longer cool, Drops out of school And is struggling because of lack of medicine
One late night at home, He feels weak His hands are shaking And can barely speak He has to go to the hospital As he was losing his physique
When he got there They tell him what he already knows The doctor then asks, “Do you know what it does though?”
“It weakens your immune system,” “By killing cells that help you get better” “Therefore it’s harder to recover when you’re under the weather”
After that night He grabbed a hold on his life Took his medication And did everything right His system was getting stronger Chances of living were getting longer And he vowed to never make a reckless decision again Now that he’s HIV Positive.She’s not that popular Not many know her name She’s not the type to play around She’s not with those games

I like it. Especially the plot twist.
