Infected

By PointlessX

If your scared of dieing
i know of something worse
I'd prefer to die
instead I've been cursed.

If you think thats bad
you'll think this is outrageous
to rub salt in my wounds
my curse is contagious.

Because of this i will die alone
it's exactly what i expected
no one will come near me now
because i've been infected.

I wasn't suprised
i knew life was going to get tougher
but never did i predict
i was born to suffer.

I prayed for happiness
because god is magic
however my prayers were reversed
and now my life is tragic.

If i knew who did this to me
i'd kill them if i could
instead i live each day tormented
because i'm a damaged good.

Ultimately i will die alone
it's exactly what i expected
no one will love me now
because i've been infected.


Note: i just found out im one of the millions of people who have been infected w/ an std, not only an std but the kind that can never go away. i was too embarrassed to tell my boyfriend right away, and when i finally got the balls to do so, he dumped me. Isnt life grand?
