We
all
have
gone
trough
the
stages
of
grief.
From
the
day
we
were
told
we’re
dying
with
HIV…
Many
things
have
changed.
We
lost
lovers.
We
lost
our
confidence.
We
lost
the
joy
of
life
and
the
drive
to
go
on.
But
we
learned.
We
were
born
again.
This
time
with
all
the
love
and
hope
that
we
have
lost
since
age
robbed
us
of
ourinnocence.
Now
we
are
stronger.
Now
we
arehappier.
Now
weappreciate
life
better.
Now
we
know…
We’re
LIVING
with
HIV… For
many
a
day,
i
have
been
getting
sad
tweets
from
IAMHIVPOSITIVE.
He
has
stopped
blogging
because
of
anindecentof
his
hidden
identity
beingchallenged.
I
have
tied
to
reach
out
but
with
no
avail. Now,
i
am
happy
he’s
writing
again
and
seems
to
be
more
spirited.
I
read
the
poem
he
wrote
for
a
lover
and
was
moved
and
inspired
to
write
this
poem
about
HOPE.
This
is
for
him. This
poem
was
inspired
by
IAM
and
Natalie
Grant’s
“Our
Hope
Endures”
so
i
write
this
poem
with
that
same
title. “Our
Hope
Endures” We
have
been
torn Since
that
dark
morn Tattered
our
souls Hearts
filled
of
holes We
were
afraid Our
lovers
fade We’re
reassured But
unsecured. We
were
consumed By
shame
we’re
doomed Yes
proud
we
were But
now
a
blur Death
we
welcome Life
we
shy
from Love
we
hunger Torn
asunder Will
we
be
loved? Will
we
be
robbed? Of
faith
and
hope Forever
mope But
our
Hope
endures
the
worst
of
conditions
It’s
more
than
our
optimism
Let
the
earth
quake
Our
Hope
is
unchanged We
find
love
from
deep
within
us. We
find
care
from
all
around
us. We
see
light
after
all
the
dark. We
see
joy
in
all
lights
we
spark. We
denied
it. We
were
angry. We
have
begged
him. We
were
lonely. We
now
accept.
