Poem: Silent Mirror (By Charles Banks, Jr.)





Silent Mirror


Why are you so judgmental?
Always smiling your little sunshine grin?
Why can't you just mind your own damn business?

Mirror, mirror on the wall,
why do you reveal the worst images
of them all?

In the graceful peaks of dawn
you disclose a private side of me-
a side that no one should know
sits at the pit of my existence.

Why do you judge me so hardly, Mirror?
Someone is going to railroad you one of these days.
When you least expect it, someone you know well
will strike you and shatter you into a thousand
prickly pieces of pathetic sadness.

Your judgmental brow is always arched at me, Mirror?
But why?
Why, Mirror?
Oh, why?

You remain silent, Mirror!
