(I was inspired by this brilliant piece of music, and I recommend Lacey Sturm's music and the band she once was the singer for known as Flyleaf.) 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwdFarg0YKQ
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJMKZ6l4KLo
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp8eCq1i2Ne
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRgYTNsRJZR
The child did not exist.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf4RoqI92j8
Though he lived and breathed in the world of every human, he was unfamiliar with the concepts of the world, for before his birth he was made nonexistent and his soul was brought to a world that could only half-exist.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaJMGrjAoG6
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFi0oP21xIB
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu2ZyJv0P9i
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY64rRAEWcK
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNMaG4A1d4L
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9l5WkVUG0F
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf9BvWwMef
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMTedNfAHa0
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSy8YErv48O
Until one day...981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqDLNVch4aa
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡU8EjrEShJI
A roaring storm raged around him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsFymAKqone
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG82xr6C1Jy
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4mqlQwGCk0
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSByD7DvrVt
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpVNn6JjOrC
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡddemxTBX3T
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYATdqy6cA
He had lost all hope of ever dreaming and he had decided that the only way to ever feel alive was for him to die.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWtHtaULrLi
As he looked down where only jagged rocks like knives lay, he breathed a silent sentence and let himself fall with the tears that he had held inside for so long.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvqaHlZE2Rj
The child opened his eyes.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfWprzXi6F1
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9D5fp6Jppf
A figure of a man walked towards him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXQo6lTPwXR
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTXIoA9BpQl
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkTopzyWmuI
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsPI18wn0A4
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFU9nzaQ4iL
The child, who trembled at the sight of the man and all of his brilliance, stared at him with eyes that grew with a wonder.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MdP0F9y7Q
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZyGTrF2MBO
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbx3S8zeFDa
"Do not hold onto to the pains of your past and what others say to you, for words of no worth fade in the end." said the man.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwIM3f2Hs2H
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Q8vytQRHX
"You may feel alone in your battle in this life, with everyone you meet trying their best to bring you down, but if you hold onto the One who was given you life, you will never be alone."981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvIhpz6tgXP
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡj0yVSqyrOU
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhQpWrzO2xo
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNXu4sp8N1
"My child, you do have a purpose. You have a purpose that comes in the form of a dream. You have been given this dream so that you may fulfill it, but not alone.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUaCOoX6dZ8
For every dream is created so that it may glorify the Lord above, and if man was to accomplish a dream alone, the dream would become dead. The Lord has been waiting for you to let Him into you so that your questioning of existence may cease and that you may find rest in Him.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbV1oQ0MbnX
You do exist, even if others don't believe that you do. You do not exist because of them, but because of the One who was died for you."981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJjko0oBsOk
"I...I..." began the boy. His voice trembled and tears began to fall. The words of the man had pierced though a storm that was dark and horrid, a storm that haunted the boy. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VisP2ijJx
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4PW22MMMA
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIYWao9zwK
981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwcFrGosXa
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSSbjhtjN4u
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEcEbBhNeOO
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTRDtTEkLxA
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUXZrDai861
"I tell you this, your pain and trials of this life are far from over, but you will never be alone, for I have felt all your pain and I shall stand with you till and after your end has come."981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAt0UhvAeRh
"Thank you..." replied the child.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHalY22kx0W
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs2v0Pby9Ko
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuEckQ8Bx1f
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfZGs833IEy
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsbdN08RwMO
He smiled peacefully.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSWiRGhjwgl
For he, the man who had once not existed, had found a purpose though the storm that had held under waters of chaos for so long. 981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDlOyf26wBw
He found something to hold onto, something to keep him breathing, something to keep him alive...and he was going to chase it till the end if his days.981Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXsQSJJvo3a
