To Despise The Life

"But I am a worm and not a man"
PSALM 22:6

Naked come from the filthy womb
Beyond a compassionate and gracious god
This flesh will not endure

My body is clothed with worms and scabs
My skin is broken and festering

I tear myself to pieces in anger
To despise the life
And lie down in the dust
Grant me what I hope for
Torn shall I depart
Do not let a perpetual light shine upon me

So man wastes away
Like something rotten
He breathes his last and is no more
