Merlin; The Boy That Never Existed

Once upon a time there was a little boy. For all intensive purposes, we will call him Merlin, simply for the reason he was blessed with a gift. Of course the young boy had not known about his gift because he was forced to live and exist in the world we are all too familiar with today.

Being thrust upon this world, he had no chance but to accept his fate and live as a human being.
Throughout the boys' youth, he was continually shown how cold and cruel this world truly was. The selfish people, the lying, cheating, sadness, depression, guilt, anxiety, resentment, irration and envy; all results of secondary human reactions to anger and fear.

Merlin found it very hard to connect to the people that have done these horrible things on a day-to-day basis, and found himself day-dreaming about what "could be." He knew there was so much more to life, and could feel it in every being of his body.
Although the world was cruel, merdin didn't give up.  He found out early in life the balance between good and bad. He may have disliked his situation immensely, but knew there must be other reasons why he was here on earth in the first place.

It didn't take him long to realize he was here to help his fellow man, brothers and sisters, through the trials and tribulations, the negative feelings and people that he had already experienced and survived through when he was younger. Although the problems he couldn't understand, he knew how to deal with them and spread his knowledge to his close associates and aquaintainces.

Going through such experiences forced Merlin to grow up much faster than any one of his peers. this fact alone made it even harder for the young boy to blend in and lead a "normal life" like all of his friends.

As the boy slowly aged, his gift started showing itself to him in many ways. He recognized the strange instances and coincidences, but never knew what they meant or if they were even siginificant at all. There was no reason for Merlin to believe so, because these things were never taught to him. Fortunately, Merlin was very smart and presented his gift in other ways.

He couls see the good things coming from people when he took the time to listen to what each one had to say. He felt that just talking to people and bieng there for them when they needed him was the best thing he could do. Especially since no one was there to listen to him.

For years, the boy went unnoticed. Gleaming with the thought that one day the world would recognize his love and light.

Nothing happened. No one cared.
