When the scars fade

I'm ok when they yell and scream
I can handle myself when they hit me
I'm ok going without food for a week
I'm ok when I can't eat
I can handle when my tears become too much
I can take on a bully any day
I can take on the dark thoughts that cross my mind
I can handle what they say
I could take over the world with just my mind
I can do it all or I could just stay
But the one thing that stirs me at night,
Is when the scars start to fade away.

My reminder that I'm in control is suddenly lost
My pain suddenly abides
I have to feel it again, but I know the cost
New scars waiting this time
