School

In a prison everyday till graduation Controlling the mind Teaching you what to believe Squeezing Shaped into a mold No say in what you learn Forced to think in like-mindedness Brainwashed Pushed out into the world To sift through life's problems On your own In today's society The foundation is shifting Slowly fading away From Biblical truth To human nature's carnal reasoning No more a steady beginning But now Shaking on the edge Peer-pressure pushing all around you Feeling embarrassment When you don't know the correct answer The desire to fit in So strong you can almost taste it Caught in the middle Of an unseen battle Fighting for the right to your soul To know Your self-worth in Christ Your worth is not measured By where you buy your clothes, Who you hung out with, Or how awesome you rocked the court Don't base your value On who you are in school But fully, only on God's opinion Which is The most important of all
