Hmmm, the problem you stated seems quite elementary and I hope I don't
miss something.
Anyway let do a try!
First here is your original example
Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 10}]]
Your problem if I understood well is that "HelloWorld" appears to
"hit" the graph.
Among many alternatives you could try:
Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 13}]]
Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["Hello\nWorld", {-2, 10}],
PlotRange -> {Automatic, {-0.5, Automatic}}]
Plot[x^2, {x, -5, 5}, Prolog -> Text["HelloWorld", {-2, 10}],
ImageSize -> 400]
Hope that this helps!
Contact me if there is problem.
Regards
Dimitris

Any example will do. I think the problem is in a setting of the
Option Inspector. But I can not determine what setting controls the
text block of a gaph.
An explicit example is:
Plot[x^2, {x,-5,5},Prolog->Text["HelloWorld",{-2,10}]]
Thanks,
