people who've i have never met,

claim that i know them.

friends tell me about events,

that i'm sure i've never been.

i've gotten into trouble,

for being where i wasn't

and i'm getting so

sick & tired from all of it.

i know it sounds strange,

but i think i have a doppelgänger.

i don't think im losing it,

i'm sure it's around, somewhere.

  1. First, fix the grammar! Grammatical errors in a poem flash on and off in red like a cop car!

    Also study the meaning of doppelganger to deepen/enhance/add compelling detail to the very basic imagery of the poem:

    A doppelgänger (pronunciation (help·info)) or fetch is the fictional ghostly double of a living person, a sinister form of bilocation.

    In the vernacular, "Doppelgänger" has come to refer (as in German) to any double or look-alike of a person. The literal translation of the German word is "double–goer," meaning someone who is acting (i.e. going) the same way as another person. The word is also used to describe the sensation of having glimpsed oneself in peripheral vision, in a position where there is no chance that it could have been a reflection.[citation needed] They are generally regarded as harbingers of bad luck. In some traditions, a doppelgänger seen by a person's friends or relatives portends illness or danger, while seeing one's own doppelgänger is an omen of death. In Norse mythology, a vardøger is a ghostly double who precedes a living person and is seen performing their actions in advance.
