  1. "Wishes Questions Itself"
    by Seashellxoxo / RiseOfTheExtinct

    Wishes, they question the idea of faith,
    In someone, or in something.
    An echoey voice of wishes ask faith:
    “Why are people so blind to the fact that we’re just pieces of imagination?
    An imagination formed by a person?”



    Faith’s answer to the curious, questioning wishes is:
    “People want to believe, so they do believe.
    They don’t believe in you fully.
    People believe that they want to believe in a wish.
    Some people are dedicated to their wishes and think that one day, their wishes will come true.
    When only they realize that their wishes will never once come true on their own.
    People become heartbroken.
    My dear wishes,”
    Faith says,
    “even you have a wish.
    Your wish is to quit this curse of letting your believers down.
    Your wish happens to forever be in the disposal of your own children.
    Wishes are your children and you cannot save them.
    You yourself are the curse that will never be broken.
    People will keep on wishing.
    People will keep on losing to your kind,
    and then your child wishes will die alongside those poor humans that waste away their lives,
    dreaming of something that will never come true.



    Faith, it answers the idea of wishes:
    “My dear wishes,
    You live within the hearts and souls of your hosts, humans.
    You live as the flame in their life, and the flame that burns all their doubts away.
    I, faith, am the trust that builds onto those human dreams,
    The trust that builds onto your children, other wishes,
    Those young wishes become my disciples.
    Your children, my disciples, become strong enough to survive in their host, the human heart and soul.
    Then, they grow even stronger, so that they can make their hosts happy.
    It’s mutual!”
    Faith, it continues to explain to his immortal, not immoral friend:
    “You are not simply the sadness and darkness that resides inside a human’s heart and soul.
    You and your children have the complexity of being the host’s future and its fate.
    You could be the devastation and doom of that human’s future,
    But ‘tis the human’s actions and decisions that determine whether you live or you die.
    Yes, you are the imagination formed by a person.
    And imagination cannot do anything on its own,
    Therefore,
    You are not to blame for what’s to come in the future of a human’s life.
    And yes,
    The humans are in fact blind to you, as you call yourself imagination,
    And yes,
    ‘Tis you that they don’t understand.
    In time, you will either be destroyed or reborn, as a truth.
    Depending on your strength and size,
    Your wish, and the human’s wish,
    Might prevail to be the future.”
    Wishes questions the idea of faith.
    Faith answers the idea of wishes.
    Together,

    They can form a stronger bond that could never be broken.

  2. It's very interesting and profound, thank you for posting this. You're a good writer.
    It reminded me of something else related to faith...
    "If I have a faith that can move mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing.
    It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.
    These three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love."
  3. That's beautiful! And thanks for the compliment!
