almost, barely, and did

almost, barely, and did

A Poem by Anika

I’ve seen bad

Bad is the girl who drowns her pain in alcohol

But let’s call her “almost”
Almost survived
Almost got better
Almost
Never did


Now I’ve seen okay

Okay is the guy who says "life goes on"

But I call him “barely” 
Barely survived
Barely got better
Barely
Never completely


I’ve also seen good


Good is you; the person who never gave up

And I call you “did” 
Did survive
Did get better
Did
You did
