TIRED OF 'ALMOST'

I was almost there, so many times. Almost achieved my dreams, but they slipped through my fingers like sand. Almost in love, but the connection fizzled out, leaving me with what-ifs. Almost chosen, almost selected, almost the one — but in the end, someone else got the spot.

Almost healed from the wounds of yesterday, but the scars still hurt. Almost forgave myself, almost let go of the past, but the memories still haunt me. Almost found my true purpose, but it's still uncertain. Almost free from doubt and fear, but they still creep in. Almost perfect, but flaws still show. Almost fearless, but anxiety still grips. Almost confident, but self-doubt lingers. Almost at peace, but turmoil still gathers like tears welling up in my eyes, refusing to stay hidden. Almost found my voice, but silence still feels comfortable.

Life doesn't hand prizes for those who almost made it. No trophies for 'almost,' no medals for 'nearly.' It's all or nothing, it seems. I'm left wondering: what's the point of coming so close only to fall short? I'm tired of the word 'almost.' Yet, I'm still here, still holding on to hope. Maybe someday, I'll be the one who makes it, who achieves, who loves, who heals. Maybe someday, 'almost' will be close enough.
