Array ( [sid] => 73951 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => IT'S HARD [time] => 2004-12-01 13:51:59 [hometext] => It's hard to tell someone you're dying from AIDS. :( [bodytext] => It's hard to tell someone you
care about,
You're dying from AIDS.

I'm living with it too but
it can go both ways,
How do you tell a friend?
Oh yeah by the way!!

I want them to like me
not have pity on me.
The one's I do tell it's
really not important to
them.
The one's that don't know
well they're going to know
now.
But I'm cool with that,
It's a part of life at least
nowadays it is.

It's just hard to tell a
friend sometimes,
Especially when you're
online,
They only know you from
the words you write,
You could be a liar
a cheat, a thief, a child
molester,
Shoot the F.B.I
could be talking to you.

But I know who I am,
And feel what others
are about.

There's some I like the
others it's not necessity
hate it's grow up kids.

But I'm not one to judge
and their life will get better
someday.

It's hard to tell a friend
you have AIDS.
Everybody dies someday,
It's a part of life today.

As long as I'm myself I feel
others will be the same.
