I know how you fell....Here is a little something that I wrote as a reflection of myself (I am 27 now)...
The Broken Child
The music started. the crowed gathered round and began to clap in unison with the rhythm of the music. People were dancing, hugging, laughing and having a good time. The music penetrated through the hearts and souls as they cheered and whistled in joy.But in a small corner in the venue sat a young child. He sat there with his knees upon his chest with his arms crossed around his knees. His eyes were glossy and red. People walked past, but did not see the boy. He couldn't help but sob. His sounds of sobbing were drowned out by the beauty of the music.
He saw the joy of the people around him, but this was the only emotion he knew. The music was so beautiful as it flowed through his body, vibrating the bones inside of his body.
He watched in pain as he saw the joy in everyone's eyes. He wanted so much to feel the joy around him, but he did not know how. Seeing the joy around him only intensified his sadness. He could only cry. It was the only response he knew as he though to himself everything that he had not. The love he knew he could not experience. It consumed him as the tears scattered along and around his eyes.
Little did he know, the song was meant for him to hear. The song was singing out. "You know my sadness, You know my pain. Light this fire in me, Light this fire again." He wanted so badly for God to lift him up, to light the fire inside of him so he could experience all that he could not. The fire had been put out so long ago, he could not remember.
He sat there sobbing as the song went on, and when it was over he raised his head and looked up.
