Stop Draining me

Strong legs and brisk feet had I
Foes before me were vanquished by another force
Till the day I crossed the swamp
Leeches did into by veins did creep
And drained the energy I possessed
A boast did I make that I live for others
But lusts and selfishness overwhelmed me
Things that I boasted in forsook me
The Almighty's hand let me fall
Into the depths of hell where I belong
I have been rewarded for my ways
Yet he is the bulwark of the hypocrites
Who dwell within his fold
He feeds them everyday to blaspheme his name
But he has forsaken a helpless creature such as I
He has tormented me beyond my ability
Smote me when I pleaded for a drop of water
Destroyed the comfort around me
He loathes the very sight of my presence
Men use me like unto a filthy napkin
And throw me back to hell
Till the day I can serve no more
Then will they use my remains as manure
To fuel their quest for luxury and sin
Guilt engulfs my very essence
But no man feels guilty of disposing me
I wish that my life were short and insignificant
And that I would reside in dust forever
