Nicole's Travel Guide to Canada: Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park

After graduating high school, I had to take a year off to recover from surgery. For a very long time before that, I was determined to get out of my small hometown as soon as I could. The year off only made me want it even more, and also made me want to get as far away as I could. I didn’t take it that far, but after that year was up, I did relocate to Alberta, clear across the country. ( Alberta was quite different than the New Brunswick I grew up with. )

Alone

Alone with no voice
One no one will hear,
Lost in a place
Drowning in fear.
All alone but with someone
Who won’t hear my cried,
Left alone with someone
Who only tells lies.
My voice is so small
So young and so meek,
Something so tiny
So little so weak.
