Drawnthey put an drip
in the crook of my wrist
to draw the blood away.
a nurse forgets to take it out
and a scar begins to form
from when they took my life away.

Kindnesshe is very beautiful
his slender wrists,
his touch
his voice.
he is
beautiful.

MiriamMiriam is wheeled away
for her E.C.Ts
and I wonder how much
of her they'll bring back.

DreamingI dream I'm walking through forests
under trees
or at the university
with fish scales falling from my skin.
I wake in a mental health ward
gill-less, and suffocating.

Balloonson a cold Tuesday morning
I watch a hot air balloon
rising softly outside the barred windows
bright red and blue with a burning flame
it flies out of sight

PullI pull tight the black
leather belt
and taste the deep lull
of the ferryman as he sings me across
to the asphodel fields.
purple breath colours the air
as I choke to death,
and then the sound
of the nurses
and the black turns
itno the bright hollow
of a hospital light.

Contests / 2009 / World Aids Day / Awareness

HIV awareness. flatlineeeee
made this in paint for a contest.

get yourself tested.
health first, kids.

This was my first attempt at text art. I have problems with the quality of this (because it was done in MS Paint and I really should have done it in Photoshop) so I'll update it later with better quality.

For some reason it's fuzzy around the text now?! I don't know how the hell that happened, but it happened just after I updated it. GRRRR promise I'll fix that soon

If you're interested, or a passionate HIV/AIDS activist

, my other pieces for AIDS awareness can be found here:

I won HIV Testing Day Talk the Talk with this

and the World Aids Day Awareness Contest

omg! a DD!

Thanks so much guys, really! That means a lot, especially because it brings awareness to such an important issue.

''When I saw this, I felt more than just hope for the current HIV/AIDS movement; I felt a sense of optimism - the first I have felt since I started working in the movement. I really think this needs to be shared with the world.'' Positivity by =methylated-spirit ( Suggested by ~lemoncookies and Featured by !Sander-Seto )

Despite how people say stay away from unprotected sex....what happens if you're a rape victim? What happens when you get it? It's not something you did yourself....It's just pure awful. My best friend....He's 16. He was raped. He's in stage 3....I'm loosing my best friend to this. It was nothing he wanted either.

Sadly I've known people who were infected after being victims of rape too. It's beyond cruel and unforgiving. I'm so so sorry that this happened to your best friend
