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
