I May Be Positive Poem by SIYETHEMBA THWALA

I MAY BE POSITIVE

I MAY BE POSITIVE
BUT DAT DOESN'T MEAN
I DON`T NEED LOVE
I`M A HUMAN BEING
AS U ALL ARE
SO TO DISCRIMINATE WONT GET U FAR
BUT TO SUPPORT AND MOTIVATE
DAT WILL BE DA FIRST STEP OF LOVE

YES I AM POSITIVE
AND NOTHING IS MISSING IN ME
I CAN GIVE MOTIVATION
OF KNOWING UR STATUS
WHILE ITS STILL EARLY
AND LIVE UR LIFE FAIRLY
AND WHAT I KNOW SURELY
IS DAT U WILL BE HEALTHY

SO WHY MUST U DISCRIMINATE ME?
WHY U ALWAYS DISCOURAGE ME?
SO WHY U ALWAYS TEASES ME
AND TELLING ME DAT I WILL DIE
BUT AS FAR AS I KNOW U NOT GOD
AND IT MAY HAPPEN DAT U WILL BE DA FIRST TO DIE
AND BEING BURIED IN DA ROAD

I MAY BE POSITIVE
BUT DAT DOES NOT MEAN
I DONT NEED SOMEONE TO LOVE ME
SOMEONE TO RESPECT ME
SOMEONE TO SUPPORT ME
SOMEONE TO STANDBY ME
SOMEONE TO SHARE A LIFE WITH ME
SOMEONE WHO WONT PROVOKE ME
SOMEONE WHO WONT JUDGE ME

IT DOESN'T MATTER WHERE DID I GET IT
BUT WHAT MATTERS IS DAT I KNOW HOW TO LIVE WITH IT
AND I`M LIVING A HEALTHIER LIFE
I KNOW I MADE MY MISTAKES
AND I HAVE LEARN FROM THEM

SO THERE IS NO NEED OF OPENING MY FILES
AND LIFE GOES ON
SO U ALSO HAVE TO MOVE ON
CAUSE THERE'S NO NEED OF FEELING SORRY
AND MY LIFE IS MOVING SLOWLY
WITH DA GOD NAME HOLY
I`M GRATEFUL DAT I`M ALIVE
AND HE ALWAYS ON MY SIDE
WHERE THERE'S NO ONE STAND FOR ME
WHERE MY FRIENDS ARE SO DISTANT FROM ME
WHERE MY FAMILY LOST HOPES ABOUT ME
WHERE MY COMMUNITY IS DUBIOUS ABOUT ME
WHERE EVERYBODY FEELS SORRY ABOUT ME
WHERE MY ENEMIES LAUGHING ME
AND THINK DAT I`M DYING

I WONT GIVE UP ON MY SELF
WHERE OTHERS ALREADY FED UP ON THEMSELVES
ALL I KNOW IS DAT I HAVE TO TAKE CARE OF MY SELF
AND EAT WELL
AND I LOVE MY SELF
MORE THEN EVERYBODY
ALL I KNOW IS DAT
I MAY BE POSITIVE
BUT DAT DOESN'T MEAN
I DON`T NEED LOVE.
