I almost got married
Fulfilled my dream
The ideas I made up when I was a child
The high school sweetheart I thought
would always love only me
My first and final kiss
I almost finished college
Almost did what I swore I’d do
Open the door my parents never could
even dream of opening
I studied all night
I tried with all my might
I almost moved to my dream city
I almost ended up with the man of my dreams
With the fire I always desired
with the skin and eyes I always hoped
would look at me when I woke up.
Sleepy, with the sun shining in them.
I almost dropped out
I almost drowned my sorrows in rum
I almost killed myself
I flipped my car
I almost gave up
So many times I stopped counting
I was almost raped
I almost told somebody.
Spilled the beans
that have been boiling within
for years
and years.
But I didn’t.

I'm a walking contradiction. I'm a Catholic, liberal, full of love, unfriendly, optimistic pessimist.
