Split

I started to write this poem, and it just kept expanding so... I think it may be one of those poetry stories.

It's about a girl with two personalities because of all the secrets she has. The poetry-story is called "Split" and here is the first poem/chapter. Enjoy! To read more please comment and I will post the link!

MY LIFE

My mom
hates that I am like my dad.
That I am more like him
then like her.

My mom
hates that I know
that she doesn't know
Everything she's talking about.

My mom
Hates the shows I watch
But she loves the music
That's on my radio.

My mom
Hates my choices in friends
Except for the ones
She's picked out for me.

My mom
hates THEM.
Those girls that have everything
And thinks I might want that.

I know
There's something wrong
in her past that makes her
hate everything that I am.

I am
Two people
Aria and Air.

My mom hates Air
But she likes
a bit of
Aria.

Or so I think.

My dad
thinks he can read Aria
But he can't because he
doesn't know about Air.

Or so I think.

My dad
hates the music on my radio
But my dad loves the
shows I watch on T.V.

My dad
Thinks I'm more like his father
That I am like him
more then the both of my parents combined.

My dad
knows I talk back
Only to see if anyone
Will catch my mistakes.

My dad
Doesn't know my friends
Because he doesn't see them
Because he's barely around.

My family
is strange in a way
because I have a double life
but not the way you think.

I am
Not insane but different.
Different meaning I was taught
To keep a secret.

I was
Taught to keep my mouth shut
To have two personalities
To Be both Aria and Air.

I can't
Tell the two appart sometimes
Because What Aria wants
Is different then Air.

I am
Aria
and I am
Air.

Air is writing the poem
Because Aria wants out.
