Chris

My high school friend died of AIDS.
Nasty disease attacks, invades!
Years too early his young life fades.
How long til this monster is slaid?

Remembering Chris on his birthday

Denied

How long can I hide?
When do I get off the ride?
How do I get others to abide?
It's about time I cried.
My spirit already died.
Too hard to swallow my pride.
Too much negativity inside,
Since I've been denied.
