(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.) 1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9f54dzAtf8
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF29rlsrgW7
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHCoMPpxNYO
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfTv2JfWeZo
The child did not exist.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVF7aHtIqVH
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpsC4SKmBhD
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuJ0aNEum81
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaofkZXEHYc
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbm0XQipriD
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1IJW6c3TRH
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVO1KB7dFic
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1jvNQ68inB
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjRLIU4ALhn
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwreoT7apvu
Until one day...1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhEHE8TppcS
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡueJvSRrRjd
A roaring storm raged around him.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCWPL8SHQt4
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL3jGCKP5Bn
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWnaHl6Xghj
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS8s8yIscky
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ7WUkIUg8h
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTkZVF0XLSQ
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZGqnnvUqVS
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡc5CcoHu6Xe
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyFQpOcYLK8
The child opened his eyes.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFAlTyC1kgf
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTTHxoL6hC
A figure of a man walked towards him.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpdnWk3FiUF
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpN6gUH4oYU
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiJBiuFeKns
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwomFrPVfY
1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhapRXzqXWI
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8il29JeKjo
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0WTyVK3yp6
1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM2tSsPe5Eg
"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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhC1bF1Ob8B
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwu1YCJNwzf
"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."1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG6zgoas30m
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbD53ZmcHzF
1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyRPBAbij42
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpKgsLXmawb
"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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxjXMteICmy
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAKEjZ8vBZ2
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."1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTIa8twDA4u
"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. 1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHrt4K9kP8W
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4lQeLho7q
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjzPeGBm1o
1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7KHP0csohv
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEiYZPKpSLY
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNPFPtafjoS
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfYPkzevTBc
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm4xAwp6D4q
"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."1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSYurVD0wnw
"Thank you..." replied the child.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLDeIoeoXSL
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgFfpHIVWpe
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFymPQQrOO2
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡza2tcoBaQV
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCClJbq2g6Y
He smiled peacefully.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYb1uGo4GSj
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. 1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ52vdPmUZd2
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.1057Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ05MP6y3QUW
