Just finish talking to my friend
I heard she got aids
From a guy she dated only for 6 days
H.I.V positive is what she told me
I didn’t want to believe her until she showed me
She was my girl, my friend, my son, my homie
The only person I really wanted around me

Where was I during the time she got infected?
I would have made him wrap it up, or either got him tested
This is a message
If you think that you are too young for that
The best thing is to avoid even having sex

She didn’t even get the chance too ever see 18
She thought that getting infected was just a gay thing
I still see her face and smile during my daydream
And if you listening to this story please stay clean

Being infected
She said she hate the way it feels
No medication
Because she hate taking the pills
She wasn’t really smart
She never went to school for real
She heard that the virus was life threatening
And it kills

She started reminiscing on the days we used to chill
Outside, around the way, the hot days by the grill
I told her she would pull through & live a long life
She told me she was too weak & wasn’t the strong type
Her self esteem was dropping low
The virus was a sign
Maybe god was trying to tell her
Its bout to be her time

She didn’t live a good life
Her mother was on drugs
Her father was in jail
And then her brother was a thug
I was her only family even though I wasn’t blood
She said I gave her hope & always showed a lot of love
We used to go to the carryout and order fries
I used to joke about how she was so organized
Now I miss her
My best friend, my true sister
When she died
I wish I could have been there with her

For all you kids out there, who didn’t know
Better safe than sorry, is the way to go
Protect yourself, live rite & think twice
Then you will have a better chance to live a long life

A teenage misfortune

Had her baby at 16
And raised it by herself
Life was a struggle
The baby father was no help
Suicidal was in mind
Depression is what she felt
She was stressing all day
Neglect ion was in her health

Too young and too dumb
To realize what was done
Now she’s in the 10th grade
Stuck raising a son
Only 3 months had past
And she was getting tired
Daycare couldn’t last
Plus she was close to getting fired

Life used to be fine
Now it was a struggle
She misses the time
When her and her boy was a couple
Every since she got pregnant
He didn’t want nothing to do with her
Told her don’t call
Because he said he was through with her

Tears couldn’t explain
The way she felt
She had shame on her name
Cause she blamed her self

She tried to go to church
But she never was inspired
She couldn’t get money
Because her card was expired

Living poor
The baby went days without pampas
On Christmas day
No presents or no Santa
She cried every night
On the side of her bed
She laid her head beside her son
And then wish to be dead
Then she kisses his head
And then lay him down
His eyes watered
So she left to delay the sound

She had a hard time
Trying to care for her child
Every time she would shake him
His voice would get loud
It amazed her everyday
How sick her son would get
She just took it
As one of Gods punishments

Her mother told her
Leave that boy alone
From the beginning
She knew she was wrong
And now she’s unforgiving
She hope it came to an end
Because of too much pressure
It was all fun and games
When it was dealing with pleasure
She didn’t know what to do
She should have got an abortion
She didn’t have enough money
To destroy her misfortune
