Theta was here
- Was not long ago when i met him
Was in a time in my life when everything was grim
- But he was a shadow or maybe a twin
He seemed like a sibling but wiser where has he been
- We shared ideologies, hobbies, and dreams
But it felt to good almost like a scheme
- I felt intimidated almost like I was inferior and not worth his time
Like he was a crisp dollar and I a rusty dime
- Why was he here, to rub it in my face
To show his achievements and my disgrace
- But what threw me off as I grew nearer
I shed a grin for when i touched him it was a mirror

Ah I love the title of this clever lead into the surprise last line showing a mirror tells us what we want to see. A perceptive write my friend.
Thanks Slimm for the kind words.
