Ever Only Almost

 

 

 

 

I was ever only almost 

In a world of for sure.

And I could build a kingdom

With all my almost words

 

Someone almost heard me

And I was almost seen

 Almost loved and almost held

In the almost in-between

I almost made it home

And I almost got there safe

But then I almost drowned

In an almost sort of place

Now each time I almost cry

When they are almost cruel

I will almost sympathize

For I am almost's fool.
