In the emergency room

I am nervous,

The result of the test is yet to be announced,

The doctors and nurses are wondering around,

And sometimes look at me their regular visitor.

I am nervous,

I am sweating and hoping a relief from this emotion.

The world seems to move in a really slow motion,

And patients are waiting patiently for the doctors’ attention.

I am terribly nervous,

The doctor walks with a handful of papers,

Trying to fake a smile and I am positive,

Yes, I have been diagnosed and tested

And I am HIV positive 
After one night spent with that doctor.
