When I needed compassion I was turned away When I needed friends close by me I was alone When I needed understanding I was rejected When I cried out for comfort I heard silence When I held out my hand there was no one to touch When I looked for others I saw only emptiness When I listened for voices there were none When I looked for Death it was denied me When I looked for food I was left empty When I looked for drink I was left thirsty When I looked for company I saw bones When I needed rest there were only stones When I needed peace I was stung by bees When I tried to weep there were no tears When I was scared there were all my fears When I looked for Death it was denied me When I spied another they never saw me When I heard others they passed by me When I felt rain the dust dried me When I felt the sun its rays burnt me When I felt wind the sand stung me When I pity myself the air mocks me When I lay down the earth repels me Where am I that Death is denied me
