(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.) 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2tQUM5JLlJ
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdz2wG6cIN6
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqpiWWjmKfU
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVdUxYmAZs3
The child did not exist.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡar2iatJb6B
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2EQklHw7ym
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQxmvBPSW9Z
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ64eXUGpI8q
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpR726TZYXP
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWX1Z54efOS
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8FO6alRSmp
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYHYhX8eXIP
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1rPhPFGUYO
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNj6iO5yKjZ
Until one day...994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdQKTBRowS8
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡii6Sd3DVPH
A roaring storm raged around him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdyAk8DCSke
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs0nqmqi3Qr
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmQgwR1mRh
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfbwHNzQHhL
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlvfu0RPkP7
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN63WmLV3La
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPPreZNo2Nc
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSqep4uyXy4
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWFKmPju7z6
The child opened his eyes.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOR1OOiEHsp
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzqFGRYOL6K
A figure of a man walked towards him.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡu9oHVf4fvm
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡig6VFTZHue
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwGVCI6t7jU
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF8Q0TjsVSV
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtKyUPqhbJl
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWVeM7GDeLz
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbMcuSe4so1
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡR8sdhGyMwI
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnY07I6a3YY
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCZRaO0tuJa
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2RpS1YGPIh
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7y14FTuGT
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0Ugt9cgrhI
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRSaZg0fuHF
"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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZRUo6gYChO
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡM90kBxKxjL
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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡn4jZZpxFoh
"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. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPzt1AQ7HPh
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoonTuxCNvr
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTrTMP4xK02
994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3WBdQErIN
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgUagccpy2
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡx008Zm4TtZ
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8LP62OHir
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6wirm03dLm
"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."994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ8Qboe1qyO
"Thank you..." replied the child.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSeu5mm3RZI
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKmXGhejDKJ
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnl9vrrBs5F
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKnwUWnV6Jo
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI3UhhjNpw6
He smiled peacefully.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbHy2gNB6vS
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. 994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdhPJFYqWad
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.994Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxtH2L3ShZN
