Crushed Spirit

Better left alone and untouched

Too long-buried beneath worries

Don't needle, don't disturb this soul

Long dead like a corpse decomposed

Too long-buried beneath worries

Emotions all sedimented 

Impenetrable barrier 

Hard to break open, gain access

Don't needle, don't disturb this soul

Battered, bruised, abused, to succumb 

Fallen, risen, fallen, again

Futile to revive the limbless 

Long dead like a corpse decomposed

Pinned down with the weight of nails rusted

Kept under surveillance always

Best left 'as is' nothing will change.
