What I&#8217;ve done and who I&#8217;ve done it to. All the souls I&#8217;ve swallowed and all the flesh I tasted.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where did it all lead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I remember having sex for the first time, and how I just wanted to continue my quest for pleasure with all sorts of people. I&#8217;m bi-sexual you see. I just wanted the sex for the experience, the thrill. But where did it all lead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think about all the people I infested because of my own selfish desires, the lust. I look at future generations having to worry about this epidemic, and I feel for them.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I&#8217;m lying here in a bed, infected with H.I.V., and all I can think of is all the people that are lying next to me because of the same reason; carnal pleasure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have so much anger for the person who gave me this disease, but why? Are we not in control of our own actions? Who&#8217;s to blame, the person who gave it to me, or I, who didn&#8217;t think about the consequences? And where did it all lead?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Not thinking or caring about the consequences, just as long as I released this force inside of me. Why didn&#8217;t I have more self control? Why didn&#8217;t I care? Why didn&#8217;t I think?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I lay here and think about all the people I infected, and think about all the people they are infesting as I die; not caring; not thinking; generation, after generation, after generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Where and when will it all end? So I say to myself again, laying here and dwelling in this hell; where did it all lead? To a slow death and nothing but regret.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I&#8217;m 47, and I lay here thinking about my life.
