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.
