(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.) 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡK9MNyDda0K
Once upon a child with a mind like a tempest, was a dream that lay dormant inside the child's soul.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5sxY2EY6x
Now, the child knew of the dream's existence, but didn't care for it.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvsUA9RVncp
You see, the child had a problem that many in this life counted by days would never face.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡl51Y83yilK
The child did not exist.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZQ0SoyqYo
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAtR9zTIWah
When the child was brought to the world of the normal humans, no one understood him.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡf1A2tG954U
No one heard him. No blood was related to his.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeUIaGpGG4a
To all he met, he was considered nonexistent not only because of his difference in personality, but also in appearance.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKZ3A5cTRjI
The child wasn't like all children with their rosy cheeks and their soft hands.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCMs5uPrxxO
He was a child that was scrawny, with a face of hopelessness and sorrow.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGQW7dpMsxl
He had unkempt hair and bruises on his face.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeIn2yU07mn
Because of this, he was abused and rejected by other humans.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡe95tCoeqPb
And because of this, his dream slept coldly inside his soul.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMsMbiOQKAt
Until one day...1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ02H1KIQUOd
A man of sorrow and pain stood alone at the edge of his life.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZn4n67SQx
A roaring storm raged around him.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ZhhuGTTbo
Thunder drummed loudly and lightning shot all around.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡKNj4lEyrL7
The sky was a dark grey with clouds that were spun by the unsettling winds.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUpRFI16H87
However, the man did not feel the setting around him.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPykwwq2pu6
He did not feel wonder or worry. Peace nor fight.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDha6RTUnwL
He only felt emptiness and lamentation.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2Fr8mrqWvF
The man had questioned for so long what the purpose of his life was ever since he was a child that never existed.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzLBSUOczLF
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSXnWi9ONog
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡSQRlPDeCQa
The child opened his eyes.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlf4yOAOsG4
Crystal blue water surrounded him and bright light shone in front of him.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2TR2svfAzF
A figure of a man walked towards him.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdXBhODl4
The figure was beyond extravagant, with robes of white and a face that shone brighter than the sun itself. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2YFdWQ1FcA
He held his nail-pierced hands out wide and walked to the child.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZMqdDBQs92
"Do not be afraid, my child." began the man, whose voice was both powerful and peaceful, "For I am with you."1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPghoi4o79t
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7RLmCh2vJC
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAgzUaoQRo7
Why would any man speak to him? What was the man's intentions behind his words?1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhaS7cWDt4
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4OMOMzH1nO
"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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPLGPhS8ldL
"But how can I do so if I am all alone?" asked the child in a weak and silent voice.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUZUoJ7UPj
"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."1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡI8MUaxc4Ve
"But I have no purpose. I don't exist. Why would anyone stand beside me?" asked the child.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2UfjuECbhX
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡL72MzdcJBN
The man smiled and knelt down so that he could be at the same height of the child.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpwas846mW1
"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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGSbeI8Y0s
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡULBVQmDYAM
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."1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdCAHj7GIp
"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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkhTgjihib3
"Who...are you?" whispered the boy.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpFVrBoUq4w
"I Am." replied the man, wiping away the timid child's tears.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnaViCa7NZf
1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUq5DckGkMv
The child looked at the man. His face was brighter and his hand were held out wide.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOK7shNlJ9F
The boy noticed scars from nails on the man's wrists.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAYGnlXOJTD
At that moment, the boy knew who he spoke to and he began to cry tears of relief.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoEQ5Mqrsuo
The boy fell into the man's arms and the man held the child assuredly.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJNW240Cn4U
"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."1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJrlKycqoZF
"Thank you..." replied the child.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjPCu5U8ldj
At that moment, the crystal blue separated and the light of the man took over the surroundings.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡY3Wovdk1xq
The man of sorrow and pain opened his eyes and stood up.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAmWoNQUCqM
The sea flowed gently and the sky was colored with a sunset of brilliance, with stars that fell gently into the sea.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ55HzhGJuNV
The man smiled a smile that he had never before.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡs6eoUyvKzn
He smiled peacefully.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzAzPs8U2vE
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. 1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuolDgURowk
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.1085Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYlnPwx8vYU
