“There are no gods, no nations, no money and no human rights, except in our collective imagination.”<br /> <br /> ― Yuval Noah Harari, Sapiens: A Brief History of Humankind


I wish I could hear your soft-spoken words more often
Your eloquent tongue becomes so familiar with every word in sight
You eat, live, breathe each syllable.
Leaping from page to mind to tongue to me, breaking my empty stare
And I can’t return the favor; me, I’m illiterate.


The author's comments:

This piece highlights the feeling of jealousy many feel when in high stress academic situations. I just felt like writing a short, concise piece about how I felt towards someone in the moment.
