Wrapped in bright paper, with ribbons tied tight,
a book full of wisdom, a gift of delight.
Yet guilt was the weight that pulled me down low,
feeling unworthy of gifts that should glow.
He thought I was lost, needing a map,
while I felt a thief in this joyful trap.
Each page held a promise, yet felt like a lie,
a mirror reflecting the questions—why?
