I'm hearing these alien words that terrify me. Terminal, seroconvert, infection, inconclusive, possibility. They say stay strong, keep your chin up. They don't understand just the possibility is enough. Who wants a woman you can't take to bed? Who wants to fear when I bled? Alien words, alien feelings, foreign bodies inside and out of me. But don't worry, they say. It's controllable, a pill a day. Pills. That's what they give me. For the depression, the infection, the anxiety. I feel as helpless as the child I will never bare. "What the hell is going on" I blare. Testing, testing, testing they say. As I ***** to cope and my legs give way. Fragility, infertility, susceptibility. But don't worry, it's all just a possibility.

*** Possibility
I'm hearing these alien words that terrify me. Terminal, seroconvert, infection, inconclusive, possibility. They say stay strong, keep your chin up. They don't understand just the possibility is enough. Who wants a woman you can't take to bed? Who wants to fear when I bled? Alien words, alien feelings, foreign bodies inside and out of me. But don't worry, they say. It's controllable, a pill a day. Pills. That's what they give me. For the depression, the infection, the anxiety. I feel as helpless as the child I will never bare.
