The saddest word
In the whole world
Is the word “almost”
By which the hearts curled.
He almost made it
She almost had forever
They almost survived
I was almost enough clever
He was almost loved
She almost didn’t lie
They almost won
I almost didn’t cry.
Sometimes I lay awake
Wishing for the world to burn
Sadly I don’t make the rules
But it’s going to be my turn
My turn to change the rules
My chance to not quit
Time to improve my destiny
And, I “almost” made it.
