Reflection

Each morning before I go to work, I take few minutes Of my time to stand in front of you, though I am bored! But, I need to do it, for I want to hear your comment; As I predicted, you started your nagging argument By teasingly, spreading both of your arms into the air; While I almost burst in paroxysm of disappointment, As I repetitiously asked, what is wrong with my look? Silent pause is all you got, giving me the impression That I will never learn to dress, like a fashion icon! I am late, but just can not leave because you bother me; If, I could stop your negativity with confidence; So, I wouldn't be spending more minutes on your silence; Oh! I really should be grateful, 'cos you made me listen To inner self, for I look great now, than I thought I was!
