Spirit Corrosion

Steady, strong and permanent

Impulse to move on

A vision - straight

A dignity

A passion for each goal

It got pounded, beaten, heated

Abuse with intent

Mistreated just

To make it rust

To see the passion die

Someone tries to burn and melt it

And all at once

From inside out

It starts to rust

Spirit corrodes

So vulnerable

Unsightly

From inside out

Spirit corrodes

Everything falls apart

As he began to put himself last in line

The decay of his fortitude

These words with one cause

To debilitate

And to disturb

To make it oxidize

Psyche deterioration

And all at once

From inside out

It starts to rust

Spirit corrodes

So vulnerable

Unsightly

From inside out

Spirit corrodes

He prepares to feel

Nothing at all

His soul so cavernous – each hole

Too huge to overlook

And all at once

From inside out

It starts to rust

Spirit corrodes

So vulnerable

Unsightly

From inside out

Spirit corrodes

Everything crumbles to dust

As he lost his worried mind to agony
