Chapter 582

Almost

The frustration is greatest
When the goal is achieved – almost
Then something goes wrong
And it all turns to toast

It is wanted so much
That it soon becomes foremost
Nothing else seems to matter
As one becomes engrossed

The desired goal is elusive
It is almost like a ghost
It is almost there but it's not
The thing that was wanted most

One must work and try harder
On laurels they can not coast
To end up with nothing
Leaves the soul to roast

Daily life and events
Seem to change the goalpost
One still has nothing
When it comes up again - almost

Nobody
