Helena Malascalza Seum was born in Wilmington, Delaware to Theora  and John George Malascalza on November 19, 1949. She graduated from Paulsboro High School. She worked at CBS records for 15 years, and worked as a security guard at a chemical plant for 7 years. While there, the words to one of my poems came to mind.  I enjoy art, reading, and the languages: Italian, French, and Spanish.  I want people to feel exactly as I do in my writings. 
 

No One Tear 

The performance that is constantly demanded of us is unbelievable and yet we are never to shed one tear  
are we not human...  
They pushed her and she flew.  
She crawled, she walked, she ran, she flew and they begged her to return.
