(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.) 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ70nd2LVH04
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVqkievT6pz
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSZdy3ch5lb
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQ5RYRcLRMU
The child did not exist.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl9G1JRydgT
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG4urUThvXl
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH36eyhHvpP
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgrobEhG4MJ
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUA9IGnOoXV
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡob2W8aUs9c
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRaqhiGpgGb
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ22vJNnhHe4
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzsMgSV9kbS
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRnV1NHxOeC
Until one day...1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe73Pi4laoK
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZlEo5irsjQ
A roaring storm raged around him.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ13d4Ew8zaL
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ39jMdBPHxf
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTwAk8u0YXU
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWXNdhBAmeg
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnvoC5EG8Gv
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLyPUS3Ldf
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1pTrUCr6XL
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgADfbtHr4a
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYaPil3YuhZ
The child opened his eyes.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6C4TfrRGcG
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ46zQ2mh6np
A figure of a man walked towards him.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSPnFr0UdkN
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsB0I8zGvDL
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7eUEwivOQp
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuuO5DK9mXz
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM1Tcn9iTo6
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr5dUxiez6r
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRUFhgjeu3e
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCvVM9Tu7lL
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCUOuz3wbVz
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1KA3uiF5jQ
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4eEjqGfAfW
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMzA0iwfws1
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe4QxvRigwo
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiTRcPD0BhG
"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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAFZjOMgme
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYT5uXUkRaF
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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDiRizA95pW
"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. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkF62F0H5n6
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxrpZqhwSyQ
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3IofwDEwKT
1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpQDxXATAaV
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLJakQRyKOw
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOj4AyCVI7n
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGdISuQqBVF
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQDmT1150z6
"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."1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiDmBMUSkDU
"Thank you..." replied the child.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8rjMh8f7L
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2kGbZpHQOc
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyWUexq6bfX
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6NQg28F6Pf
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyxPs4xNxMM
He smiled peacefully.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTjpuIik2Qt
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. 1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgswMqe3eAC
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.1061Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNRBC4AzP2
