Almost

What if we almost do something
Is it as bad as doing the thing?
The tipping point has its own stories to tell
Stories of brave heroes who almost plunged and fell
Almost is the warning bell that wakes you up from a perverse fantasy
Snooze and continue if you want temporary ecstasy
Getting to the tipping point is a long winding journey for some
But only getting out of there holds the key for the days to come
Almost is the word that reminds us how low we can stoop
If you assuage the guilt once, it enters an infinite loop
Many men fell, many dared to come back
But the real heroes never chose the fallen track
The thought does not count in many of these cases
Because just temptation doesn't ever taint any faces
Almost is a savior because it means there's hope for redemption
From the world's biggest bitch - temptation
Not slipping out of reality and not forgetting morals
Is rarer than any diamonds, gold and corals
There are two kinds of men: the mad and the bad
What tells a mad man from a bad man is quite sad
There is no great difference but for the word almost.
Both are equally troubled and there's nothing to boast.
Almost is a golden gate to a territory that is unknown
Once opened, punishments and rewards are multifold the seeds that were sown
A mad man is desirous of everything that can be his
But only the bad man is willing forget what he already owns for this
Being mad is not cowardice, it is being grateful
Grateful for small mercies that have been bountiful
Almost is the word that describes the brink of insanity
Stepping beyond only promises a tainted face beyond vanity.
But backing off or calling quits will reap more benefits
A peaceful life where you won't be one of the misfits
Almost is the limit that no human being should cross
An LOC that can prevent a lot of pain and loss
Every story from the tipping point is a story worth hearing
Because it is about a man who chose a life not filled with fearing
Trust me when I say, it's no fun being  the bad one
Crossing the almost is a battle that was not won
