Thank you, Almost

Almost is defined as “not quite”

Not quite there

Not quite finished

Not quite enough

Your five letters separated me from here to there, anywhere to elsewhere

You taught me that you don’t always succeed

That I am not enough for everything and that’s okay

Not gonna lie you tore me down

But every great wall starts from nothing

So here I am a brand new wall that almost has not touched

Not approached

Not glazed over

Not affected

I learned to build my own wall

I learned to strive for greatness no matter the lengths

Thank you for that

I won’t let you hold your five letters over me anymore

So thank you

You almost had me
