Many nights I see you lay awake, tormented by the mistakes of your past. I see your thoughts replaying it in your mind like a bad rerun you can't turn off I can't take it anymore... I can't take watching you inject that pain into your mind over         and                over                        again... Don't you know there is rest for you on The Skull? There is rest for every broken                                                     saddened                                                                      weary soul. All you have to do is move it to my side. I can take it. I paid for it. It is done. Now sleep, child. Take rest I'll keep watch. Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, 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"

Please rest, Child

I have clinical depression and this verse has kept me going.
