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

  • Fay Slimm.

    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.

    • Tamara Beryl Latham - The Poet

      Loved the ending. A mirror image was certainly not expected, but you've done a great job with presentation.

      🙂
