I wish I were human...

Their life starts with them in the arms of their parents. Their parents would cradle them and love them, cherishing the existence of their newborn child. They will sing cute lullabies to their child, rocking them back and forth as the child slowly falls asleep. They will sacrifice their sleep for the child's sake, whispering soft words for the child to stop crying.

But even with such loving things happening, I was jealous. My life had politics and nations revolving around me, and I wasn't kept in a house of relatives—I was kept in a house with politicians and servants. My caretaker came every month, but left days afterwards to attend to other subjects. I was left there, alone, seeing every else that's mortal around me avoid me.

I wish I were human…

Humans have friends with humans is to nations have friends with nations. Humans will live together if they please and they will love each other eternally. Even with arguments in their paths, they always have that path where they can make up. They can do anything together.

While nations like him can't. His friendship can only be distributed to men who are immortal like him. It was like he was forbidden to create friends with human beings, and in my opinions, it is ridiculous. Though, you can see why God made it banned—because they can die as we live. As days passed, I don't age, yet, they do. I see leaders and children die on front of me. I see millions of people die on front of my eyes. And for the people who don't die and are immortal, it was hopeless for them as well. They experience similar fates like what I have, and we both know one thing—we only have each other to befriend.

I want to be friends with others, yet, it's forbidden. I've learned that even before that we aren't allowed. I don't want to commit the mistake of befriending a man like what I've done to him, Davie. This is why it's forbidden for us nations, yet, I want other friends. I need company. I felt limited, like there was this barrier us nations cannot cross.

I wish I were human…

Humans have freewill to do anything they desire. If they want to travel to another country, they will do as they please. They will go out of their house if they want to go somewhere, and one will enter their house whenever they like to. They weren't imprisoned in a jail (unless they're imprisoned literally). They had hectares and hectares of land they can walk upon. They had the whole word for everyone to do what they will.

And I was trapped. We nations don't have control over what we do during times we struggle. Nations were like puppets, they were being controlled by the forces of their land. This affects every other nation. When their people want war, I was their marionette. I will do as they please, and will follow every command even if it will hurt my only friends. And I'm not the only one experiencing it—my other fellow nations have as well.

And we can't stop it.
