"'Come to Me, all who are weary and heavy-laden, and I will give you rest. Take My yoke upon you and learn from Me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For My yoke is easy and My burden is light.'"
~ Matthew 11:28-30

"My soul finds rest in God alone;
    my salvation comes from Him.
He alone is my rock and my salvation;
He is my fortress, I will never be shaken...
Find rest, O my soul, in God alone;
my hope comes from Him...
Trust in Him at all times, O people;
    pour out your hearts to Him,
    for God is our refuge."
~ Psalm 62:1-2,5,8

"Cast all your anxiety on Him
because He cares for you."
~ 1 Peter 5:7

~~~
At first when you hated me
It took me through some pain
I thought I would be sad with out you
then you hated me again
After all of this and me trying
I'm thinking maybe losing you is my gain.
I'm tired; sick of crying
But now I know
That what I thought was a loss
Is really a gain
Edit later ;)
If you're a lady
all-purpose handheld device
vibrate with night-lite
hush
the word travels on hot, breathy air
hush
thats what I say when I believe no ones there

often I'm left alone
but hearing the subtle
hush
chills me right down to the bone
I don't know what this is.
i have a friend
he is a monster, indeed
and I guess his name is Ted
but even more importantly
he doesn't live under my bed
but in my head you see
no one else can hear him
the only person is me
he fills my head with conflict
that mean, old, nasty thing
I really cannot stand him
but it's odd; to him I cling
it really doesn't make sense
this monster in my brain
but I guess he'll always be there
I will have to live with that*
*but I don't even know his name.
