It hurts
   that I have found pieces of myself
scattered throughout this universe
        hiding
   in more than one person.
What would you think if I were to combine these tiny poems?

I like that it is short and straight to the point and that it expresses a realisation which is true for most people but few are aware of it consciously. I think this is what poetry is about - to remind us of things we have somehow forgotten.
As the idea is very nice I feel you could have played with it a little bit more, added some more interesting language to make it more eloquent. "Scattering pieces" immediately struck me as a cliche phrase and I would advise you to find an alternative. There are some more words in this poem such as "hiding", "hurts", "person", "myself", which can be easily replaced with a dramatic effect to the poem. You might want to make it sound differently, more expressively by adding some alliteration, some assonance etc, to smooth out the structure, to make it sound as a whole because it feels somehow chaotic to me right now.
Wish you best of luck with improving your poetry and keep developing your huge potential. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)" />
