I’ve spent so much wasted time,
On things that don’t matter in life,
Trying to look a certain way,
Trying all I can to be “smart“
I keep on trying over and over again each day,
But it seems each day I fall more apart.

I try to act confident,
I try to act tough,
I try with all my heart to be content,
But my mind tells me it’s never enough.

I try to put on a smile,
I try to hide the hurt I hold within,
I try to to get through every trial,
But my mind tells me I can never win,

But something in my heart,
Tells me there’s so much more,
Something more than just being called “smart,
Something more than my mind could ever long for.

Something more than outward appearance,
But rather inward instead,
Something worth the resistance,
Something worth the days I may dread.

Instead I want to be wise,
And meditate on the Lord’s word,
And shut out all the devils lies,
For in Christ I know my true worth.

Because He doesn’t care how I look,
Or how educated I may be,
He only cares about my heart,
He just cares about me❤️
