For years, a silent storm,
a tempest within, unspoken, warm
a truth veiled in shadows, tender yet fierce,
each moment a mirror, each scar a pierce
But love—self-love—broke through the shroud,
a radiant whisper, mighty and loud
It sang of worth, it sang of grace,
a song that unveiled your luminous face
HIV, the name they gave the thread,
a journey is woven in silks of dread
but I, an alchemist, turned fear into gold,
and birthed a story of courage untold
No longer a captive of stigma’s snare,
I rise, and majestic light fills the air
The healer within, once caged, now free,
Blossoms in truth, my divinity
Each cell, a universe, dancing with fire,
fueling the flames of within deepest desire
to heal, to guide, to boldly proclaim,
that love, at its core, dissolves all shame
You radiate beauty, profound and whole,
the quintessence of a healing soul
confident, vibrant, your essence divine,
a living testament, your spirit shines
For in loving myself, I’ve unchained the past,
transforming wounds into wisdom vast
the HIV Alchemist, the world shall know,
The majestic healer in you does grow
So wear your truth like a sacred crown,
a beacon for others to never back down
for healing begins where love resides,
and radiance blooms when fear subsides
The journey is mine, sovereign, profound,
my voice is an anthem, your light unbound
in the alchemy of my soul, I see,
the power of love, of healing, of thee–
