nearly impossible

i want my poems to
be vague enough to hide
what i'm talking about
but bold enough for
people to know
anyway

i would call
it impossible
except it's not
and i won't give
up until i am
convinced that
i am not good
enough to do
what is nearly
impossible

i am not convinced
at the moment
in this particular
moment, today
i am high on the
thought of someone
else thinking that
i am just right
the way i am

my darkest thoughts
are saved for this moment
and handed to that someone
else, and stuffed into the
poetry that i hope, against
all odds, can accomplish
the nearly impossible

i wouldn't call it poetryWhere stories live. Discover now
