STEEL SKY

My first attempt at rhyming verse

I once met my younger self

underneath a steel sky

we were the same height 

but we didn’t see eye to eye



He thought me weak as I got old

I found him brash, stupid and cold



Thing is

do we ever really know ourselves

in the way that others do



What matters most:

Who I am to me

or who I am to you?
