Well, since it seems that my other riddle won't be solved any time soon, here's a new riddle.




Stuck in this prison for what seems forever,

How long do I have left? 10 years? 20 years? Never?



Over the years, you've stuck to this same ritual.

Only, instead of purpose, it's mostly habitual.



Look to where you rest to find what I am.

A mirror or my own reflection




Stuck in this prison for what seems forever,



How long do I have left? 10 years? 20 years? Never?




My reflection seems as if it is trapped in the mirror while I roam outside in the real world.




Over the years, you've stuck to this same ritual.



Only, instead of purpose, its mostly habitual.




It has become our daily habit to look at ourselves in the mirror to check if we look good or we have dressed properly or not. Even when we aren't going anywhere we always stop by the mirror at least once.




Look to to where you rest to find what I am.




Most people have a mirror by their bedside. It can be the dressing table mirror or a full length one.




Finally the title, You come to me day after day. I see you in a most unflattering way




The mirror shows you for how you actually look. Even when you aren't dressed properly or when you just wake up with your hair all messy, the mirror will show you exactly how you look without any flattery.
