The Gift

Today I woke up, mom made me breakfast But there's a box in the living room A sweet and colorful box. Unfortunately my behavior hasn't been the best lately "Hey honey, I got you a present" It was for me! What are the odds? So I ran as fast as I could. Like a fish towards floating food It's the perfect toy! So beautiful, bright and friendly. But somehow, something isn't right. I can't turn it on Is it dead or broken? then, in the blink of an eye... Happiness turns to agony. anger and sadness knock on the door And all this because I noticed... Is it dead or is it broken?
