NO ONE TOLD ME by Lois M Valentin
This was written by me sometime during the 1980's-1990's.
No one told me that my heart could cry so loud yet no one hears.
No one told me that victims are sometimes punished and scarred for life and the violent criminals are often free of worry and pain.
No one told me that my voice sounds so much different to me when I hear it on a tape recorder.
No one told me that life was a political game.
No one told me that I would want to fly through outer space yet I am afraid of heights and elevators.
No one told me that now I don't have to take my children anywhere that I would have no place to go myself.
No one told me that I could write this, play with Tiger, my cat and listen to the walkman at the same time , but I did and it's 11:30 at night.
