They won’t tell you this,
but you were meant to die that night.
Not metaphorically.
Not poetically.
Dead.
Body-in-a-bag, candlelight-vigil, wrong-place-wrong-time kind of dead.

The universe had it penciled in.
Checked it twice.
Even cleared the skies for an easier cleanup.
That crack in the concrete? Yours.
That skipped heartbeat? Scripted.
The text you didn’t send,
the phone you didn’t answer,
the door you locked without thinking…
every missed beat saved your life.

They had a spot for you in the dirt.
Fresh.
Unmarked.
Perfect.
You weren’t supposed to see the sun again.
Weren’t supposed to finish the song,
or laugh that hard at nothing,
or kiss that person you weren’t supposed to love
with your whole, stupid heart.

But here you are.
Breathing like a rebellion.
Blinking like defiance.
Spitting in the face of the script.
You were meant to die that night.
But something in you refused.

Something in you got up,
and screamed,
“Not yet.”
So if you’re wondering
whether you’re strong enough
to face what comes next,

Just know…
you already outran death once.

Everything else is just a sequel… 🦸♀️💪
