If tears be the ink of the poet
Then sorrow is inspiration.
My soul can speak volumes
With no set limitations. 

If tears be the ink of the poet
Then shouldn’t I not waste them?
But who can reverse waterfalls
Once they’re rumbling toward the edge?

If tears be the ink of the poet
Then my art shall never perish.
Though it hurts, it brings relief
These outpourings that I cherish.
