(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.) 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡC3y4KbinWl
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5q5Xv8dsyF
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3vjGyhLdOz
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5QvFEXyrG
The child did not exist.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡftku7dJBl5
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtiUHg1xNh8
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjWaskqLEyp
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYUt39P7XFS
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnTtVv3w7T9
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTCgz4UprSc
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ7jfBaVm75
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9UctcO9GA8
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzXDkJbAmq5
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnSD8wt8pBw
Until one day...960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWGJ2btCAKv
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡk8ZjPXFloq
A roaring storm raged around him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHhLAwJ4Bo
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHjUPFfHfg6
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqQHbee8u69
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5bcg3QhDca
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJBLQCwZL8Q
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTnISiGD63m
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr4Uh1usClE
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiENnhuvYu
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xeBkI9i3P
The child opened his eyes.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlnil5zS4HY
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCcFMW8aLrF
A figure of a man walked towards him.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEd0scVgqJK
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm5gGzM4Ldy
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ld1e2hona
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAXWXlAsQw
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK5OEgZ8J2c
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5pRZHfMYCh
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5wgkhKGZpb
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwCljcGOJc3
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcLMrbQLByK
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe47rCJhKoE
"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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡS9Zo4QGnf6
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw7Jj39x22
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvp9Co4f6Qv
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJcLrHXg4cn
"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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa70lxPEuqe
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkXnlFFZmqq
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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡafn4GoyplZ
"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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡP7wG9hfoAL
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6JvEKeyGlH
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6T8wLlr7CZ
960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG14RKPfUUy
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXbj0Tazpdx
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdNVFsxvTv6
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmUeELVJUtz
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqGkHJJGoFH
"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."960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAPmlgCj5uj
"Thank you..." replied the child.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMG1rfRoa9b
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtkbeXU6Xxy
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡck9IqZHhbH
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3TmxfAc49B
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡamhAlQx5Ih
He smiled peacefully.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdzse0Mo64
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. 960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡochmDtt30s
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.960Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0uTMW6l90d
