"Differences"

Two Voice Poem

Catherine                              Kristi

I have an autistic brother, a married mom and dad            My two parents are divorced, it makes me so sad

                We are part of a family

At school I seem to be treated like a fool I am one of the most popular girls in school

My parent hardly pay attention to me           I’ve always gotten attention and everything I need

Being an artist is my dream           I’m still trying to figure out my dream it seems

I love being outdoors, and swimming in                       The pond is cold and icky, I’m not 

the pond                                                                                   very fond

I don’t really care about looking pretty           I like to look my best, boys think I’m a beauty

Ryan is a jerk, and our feuds will never                     I think Ryan’s sweet, he’s definitely a friend 

end

I feel loved, but sometimes ignored                                I thought my parent loved me, but then

                                                              they got divorced

                                                   

                         We want to feel loved

I like to daydream, but I always get my Dreaming is great, but so unrealistic

hopes up

I miss by best friend, but I will see her soon           I had to leave my old friends, but I will                                                   make some new

I have few friends, I keep close in my heart         I had tons of friends, before we moved 

                                                                                         apart

I have made some rules, so David will understand     I think rules are ok, but can seem like commands

     We need some structure

I think life has been unfair       I think that life is fair, but I don’t think anyone in it                               cares

I’ve lived most of my life with interesting pets       I've never had a pet before, they make my mom fret

Summer is great for adventures, absolutely perfect     Summer is my favorite time, I hope it                                                               won't get wrecked

My room is messy, there are clothes all over     My room is organized, everything placed  the floor                                     neatly in a drawer

Dancings not my thing, I always dance horribly       I always just love to dance no matter  

                                                                                               how foolishly

My mother’s always home, but it feels like       My mother’s hardly ever home but I’ve 

she’s not there                       begun not to care

David is kind of different and can’t find a place     Being different is something you should 

                                                                                             embrace

           Differences make us “special”

I think for now, everything is just right                   I think this new home, will make things  

                                                                                          alright

                         Life will go on

If you can't tell how it's supposed to look, take a look at the pictures of my poem.
