(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.) 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VXMiXFZWo
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcXuBcHFyLl
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjOERIPIyrN
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxpOaYpPYxl
The child did not exist.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SyZG3HvCr
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡED3aCt0cFH
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡplRy2KvSYK
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu18vbdcgbW
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsAeq3j3N6
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrz7sRBm00k
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4ZFkyoIxth
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3flXPHjUJL
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLa8oFYzlrc
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfKKPRG7wL0
Until one day...1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTErgPDOSmg
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM0yNyZCSbq
A roaring storm raged around him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TsVfhQRyl
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoy46LzonO0
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNRDZrwI8z
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdBBPunGsNW
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1dr9J42ezU
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5tSREzaabi
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd1Sfr5Nrx2
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHVF1oRDWuu
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxPSQXCe0i
The child opened his eyes.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuf2fWZK6Jg
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhJ2ElpBld6
A figure of a man walked towards him.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRK38N4zxvP
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhZ81NfNxDZ
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW2pc9Ggneg
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ62YbRjW4d6
1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ942ZFhrsYU
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxFbp7RcJjq
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8CxuyA1DV5
1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0SpC8BMMZS
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSJt5Yj8sC2
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiyByS0soI
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlmpYiEkltP
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4IME9O9Vfp
1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcRBA7eVpFO
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡthBxlIIkQi
"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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwRCwDxubl6
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR0ln1EdqMF
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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxLE3p43JBB
"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. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAZGZitvCcB
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB3pw4Lttys
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIB2OjGqHYw
1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡE59rSWWhVr
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbS1y9f4fjP
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡg1cbsV9H0A
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoLjkJ9oeSg
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEBiLw8bT8O
"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."1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAM8EXgLtGv
"Thank you..." replied the child.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmGi52TmnJl
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYzdAm4d35s
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ97GY89YXXs
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7C8LN1aACu
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkwIgU0x3ue
He smiled peacefully.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsiLKDqMU0T
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. 1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpMuwRSMWpl
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.1067Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTlZH8Gw1sG
