I live in a town built on the word 'almost'

The skies are almost blue

And the people are almost  happy


Where the stores are almost up kept

The kids are almost not struggling

And the birds almost sing


Where the parents almost love their kids

The plants almost grow 

And plans almost go as planned


Where he almost didn't die

The clothes almost fit right

And she was almost perfect


Where the girl writing this almost felt happy

The author almost  didn't have to experience it

And I was almost good enough
