Hey there
                    Hello
How are you
                    Who am I
Good to know you
                    Nice to meet me
Gotta run
                    Well, goodbye

I just met myself today
For the very first time
I didn't know what to expect at first
Didn't know what I'd be like

Hello again
                    Long time no see
How're things for you
                    What's my life like
Don't be a stranger
                    It was great to see me
Well, take it easy
                    See me around sometime

I ran into myself again
Hadn't seen me for a while
Spent some time just catching up
And talking of old times

My universe
Has turned
Inside
Out

Certainty is long since gone
Rationality as well
Understanding is right out
Contemplation is hell
Questions without answers
Problems I cannot solve
Feeling wrung out
Completely helpless

What on earth went wrong?

this is very original, i like it a lot. i especially like how you spaced it out, it makes it easier to read and understand as well as adding interest by means of a visual component. i never thought of literally meeting myself (if you know what i mean:P) like you have, it's great to gain some perspective!

haha thanks for the warning, i bet its harder for you poetry writers to get comments. i picked this based on its title and i like it, slightly crazy -definatly original.

:iconmaster-betty:
You are right, it is difficult to get people to actually sit down and read something (God forbid :D)
Anyway, thanks--crazy has pretty much been my state of mind recently.

"Spent some tim" -- I think you meant "time". ^^;

I like that you show the different aspects of yourself having a conversation by using the Tab key. It gives a more powerful visual cue as to what's going on, that traditional indentation would not give.

I like the arrangement of the stanza about your universe turning inside out. It looks like another visual cue of everything going Down The Proverbial Toilet, y'know?

If you want to go with this theme of using visuals and arrangements, I think you could consider actually punctuating the last question. It would give the poem a sense of finality, and it would be somewhat shocking to the reader, after reading many lines with only commas and no real 'stoppers'. That, however, is solely my opinion, and you do not have to take it at all. Poetry is its own beast, and the decision on stuff like that is left to the poet.

I AM NOT HERE. I HAVE DIED ON THE CROSS FOR YOUR SINS.

Actually, I just moved.
