Confessions MAG

I almost told you yesterday.
I almost told you today.
I'll probably almost tell you tomorrow,
and again after that day.
Almost is a broken word,
it's filled with silent vows,
it leaves things hanging
all the whats and whys and hows.
One day it'll falter and the words will
come out
in a rush they'll holler, scream, and shout.
Repressed for so long, they'll make
themselves heard
just wait for the day when almost
is deferred.

Bottled up words that aren't let out just build up and build up, but there's no one to tell. So what I do, I write them down. I have a journal that I've recently started, writing it down helps a lot -It relieves some of the pressure. If there's no one now that you can tell, then write it down now, and someday, tell the world.
