Removing the Blinders

I tried, it failed,
but it's okay,
it was always an almost anyway.

Don't dwell on how
I feel today,
it was always an almost anyway.

The load from my
shoulders outweighs
the sorrow I feel knowing that
it was always an almost anyway.

I had to ask,
and now I know
it was always an almost anyway.

I thank you and,
looking back, see
it was always an almost anyway.
