Highlighting

By: Sumedha Sangem

Highlighting.

That’s how I take life in

I highlight quotes

Or words in a book

Trying to keep them with me

Forever.

I mentally highlight the things people do,

Trying to understand their reasoning

But I can't highlight you.

I can’t put your pieces

Together,

Or save your words for later

Your words are empty,

And your doings are

Meaningless.
