As We Come Together

 
As we come together
You and I
Strangers and people
Knowing nothing about you
And you knowing nothing about I
You look at me
And all you see
Is my face, my height, my clothes, my weight, and
Nothing else
 
As we come together
You and I
Friends and siblings
Knowing everything about you
And you knowing everything about I
You look at me
And all you see
Is my personality, my looks, my strongs, my weaknesses, and
My disabilities
 
As we come together
You and I
Friends and people
Knowing adequate information about you
And you knowing adequate information about I
You look at me
And all you see
Is my personality, my looks, and
My disabilities
  
As we come together
You and I
Strangers
You see nothing wrong with me
 
As we come together
You and I
Family
You see my disability, but rarely
 
As we come together
You and I
Friends
You see my disability, and nothing else
 
As we come together
You and I
Imaginary friend
Because these other people
Family and friends
Treat me with a disability

As we come together
Just me
I’m a person.
If only you were a stranger,
So you would just treat me normally.

Marcos needs our prayers because his disease is his disability, and his disability is breaking out so strangers can see.
