Laptop

How I have been treated like a computer

Like a laptop that has been used all day

I am drained

Simply a tool for a task

Not built to last

Used by many others

Close me up when you are done

Set me on a shelf

I was only there to complete a task for yourself

Someday soon, when I slow down

You will start to look around

My exterior is dented and scratched

My slowness can't be matched

It is time for something new

You shop around

Until a new one is found

Then I am thrown away
