I’m ALIVE

I am 16 right now. I would not be 16 if it hadn’t been for a mircale.
I was that kid who always seemed to be followed around by bullies. I had constant thoughts about what the world would be like if I were not in it and once even asked my friends if they would miss me if I were gone. Of course they said they would, but then, I didn’t believe them.
One day, I was walking home from school and I saw a big semi-truck coming my direction. The light had just turned green for him.
I thought about how painless and easy my death would be, just a few steps out onto the road and no more pain. I thought about what everyone would do, but my thoughts were not pleasant. I thought about how no one would miss me and how my bullies wouldn’t care if I were there or not. I thought about my family and friends and how they would soon forget about me. And I thought about Heaven and how much nicer it would be than whe world I was in then.
It was during all of this thinking that the big silver semi had passed by and the light turned green for me. I walked the rest of the way home and that night, I sobbed my eyes out and got help the next day.
Thank God for my overthinking of everything.
