This is the first poem i've wrote for about 6 months, just had an urge to write something today while i was at work, hope you enjoy.

I look to you for inspiration at the start of the day.
Most days you stare at me blankly, never say a word.
But your eyes speak in a silent tongue that vibrates against my inner ear
Translating your stare.

Some days, and seldom are these some days,
I receive from you a smile,
And that simple smile can change the way my day evolves.
If only I could meet that greeting more often when I see you,
But you always let me down.

Tomorrow, today is forgotten,
And I know what awaits as I wake in the morning.
Even if I could stay in bed asleep, and forget about you,
I know that you’ll be there, waiting, staring, passing instantaneous judgement on me with the first glance you receive.

Day in day out I ask you the same question,
To which you reply in the same way you sour my day, silence..
I ask, “ Why, why do you frown upon me mirror?”…
