(ALMOST) ABOVE AVERAGE

Almost 

does it really matter if I'm

almost above average

almost getting a chance at life again

almost about to apply for my job benefits

almost likely to succeed


My goals aren't what they seem to be

and I don't have a clear sense at what goal I'm aiming at now

what I'll acquire if I accomplish said goal,

or at least if I even almost accomplish it

and what will become of me...

Will I even succeed, or "almost succeed"?


almost... I think I'm actually likely to almost fail

If I fail to choose

and if I almost make the right choice

what will I lose

listening to my ever-swiveling thoughts speak

from bad to almost above average

which thought will I put down

and which will almost end up from my head onto the pages 

of the next story of my life


I almost do get the chance

I almost have made the right choices

but 

is "almost" worth the price

of almost succeeding...at all?
