Almost
I have always been an Almost
Almost handsome almost ugly
almost a genius almost a fool
almost very good almost very bad
almost successful almost a failure
often an ‘also ran’
I guess most of us can tick all those boxes
I figure it’s not so bad to be an ‘almost’
better than being something you can never live up to
better to be free of someone else’s label
much better to make a goofy grin in a 2-way mirror
and wink
