My Least Favorite Two Words My least favorite two words revolve around each other.

It is almost like I can’t escape it.

I nearly can’t get by it.

And that’s it.

I will nearly and almost never be able to escape those words.

When I hear someone say they almost reached their goals But didn’t I sympathize for them.

Then, when I hear someone nearly got hit by a car or hurt But didn’t I cry happy tears for them.

And it isn’t like something suddenly just happened that I hate these words, But it is in their own existence in this world why I despise.

But why should I hate them?

It’s not like it is always a bad thing Or always a good thing, And that’s why I nearly will never be able to escape them.

Life will almost be great without them Or nearly terrible, But I know that no matter what I say Or do Or act Or speak Will I almost be able to nearly live without them.
