Smart enough

Smart enough to plan to the minute,

Yet unable to sit in the moment.

Smart enough to nourish body and mind,

Yet unable to achieve purity.

Smart enough to know what depletes,

Yet unable to leave it behind.

Smart enough to gain wealth and acclaim,

Yet unable to stop thinking they matter.

Smart enough to figure out it’s all relative,

Yet unable to embrace the darkness.

Smart enough to see their weakness,

Yet unable to deaden the hurt.

Smart enough to seem wise,

Yet unable to understand me.
