Battle Scars

overcoming emotional or physical pain, spiritual

Everywhere I look
There is a scar
From my fight
With you
Some are healed
Where time's gone by
Others are scabby
From recent attacks
Unblemished skin awaits
Another barrage of
Pokes and stabs
From you
Some people wonder
How do I go on
After war
With you
Why there's a smile
On my face
It's because I know
You can't kill me or
Hinder me
God will only let you
Do but so much
Before He says
Enough is enough
You forget He said
Touch not His anointed
So I'm not worried
About battle
With you
Give it your best shot
You haven't stopped me yet
And you won't
My body is more than a battlefield
It is a temple
And God lives here
So you have to go away eventually
And my scars will no longer
Be your signs of alleged victory
But will serve as
My testimony
