Almost.
But not quite.
Almost saying it.
But not quite.
Almost revealing it.
But not quite.
Almost ending it.
But not quite.
Almost finishing it.
But not quite.
Almost doing it.
But not quite.
Almost writing it.
But not quite.
Almost drawing it.
But not quite.
Almost creating it.
But not quite.
Almost touching.
But not quite.
Almost mine.
But not quite.
Almost.
ALMOST.
But not quite.

The author's comments:
I wrote this during a short period of time when I had a lot of turmoil in my mind. Writing this helped clear some of it. I think it really describes how a lot of teens feel. But who knows. I might be wrong.
