Coming Alive... well almost

by Izzy Koranda

It’s almost over
I’m almost done
I’m almost an adult
I’m almost done high school
But it’s only almost
How many times have I almost been there
Or I almost did it?
Too many times now – countless –
There are so many things I should have done
Too many things I shouldn’t have.
I look back now and see that my life
Has mostly been things I almost did
I almost told her I loved her
Or
I almost got hurt really bad
My life hasn’t been one big sports victory
Or a bright and shining musical
It’s been a whole lot of almosts
But almosts are going to be a thing of the past
I want to be remembered for doing something
Not almost doing something
From now on no more almosts
Just done or undone.

Author's Note: this was actually a school assignment but i guess it packed more of a punch then i intended
