The weight of change

the river runs afar 
splitting
I change houses
its crippling
I'm her here and another over there
its hard to bear
to bear the weight of change
for the reasons range
from different rules 
to different hues
I bear the weight of change
is it so hard to be the same?
for the one thing I wish for is to
not bear the weight
the weight of change
so I will live with two personalities
sometimes I just want the world to freeze
but I don't get a pause
I have to be jolly like Santa Claus
so you will only know one half of me
I'm her but I'm also she
but who am I 
this half of that
it gnaws me like a gnat
so. I will write you back as soon I can
when I find out who I am
