Do you really think I haven't noticed you are the one who has changed?  The accident may have landed me in this chair, but you are the one with the disability.

Do you really think I don't see the way you stare at me in pity?  Lord knows I don't need that, especially by someone who is supposed to be my best friend.

Do you really think that I don't notice how you try to avoid me like the plague, like somehow a spinal cord injury is contagious?  I don't have the plague, and I am not sick, but I am sick of being treated like I no longer matter.

Do you really think I don't struggle with this?  I do, but I know that God has my back, which is a good thing, because apparently you no longer do?

Do you remember when we were ten, and you broke your arm I was the first one to sign your cast, and I didn't go swimming all that summer, because you couldn't get the cast wet?  I don't want you to sacrifice like that for me, but I would simply like us to be friends?

I guess I have found out what you truly stand for.  I thought we were best friends forever now I am not so sure.
