Poem by Diane Dawson
IT’S ALWAYS RAINING IN MY HEAD
Smiling in the Sunlight, Crying in the Shadows trying to fit in with the 9 to 5 crowd, feeling like a phony

Screams in my head, guilt on my forehead lost sleep, getting weak trying to act normal
Outsider looking in, pretending there is nothing wrong my cold symptoms won’t go away I wonder why
Feeling depressed, Where are my pills? I can’t work without them shit!!
Disclosure is not an option, shame is still here after all these years (10) please go away
Sun is shining on me, hurricane in my heart blowing away my soul please don’t go
No HIV people to be found, feeling all alone again no truth to that (smile) Erik, Shurland, monté
It’s always raining in my head
There are some things that just need to be said
Diane Dawson
