Is it possible to put my tears into words?
To turn morose droplets into bitter verbs?
To spill salty liquid onto a blank page
And let others know of my sorrow and rage?

Could I ever truly "let it all out"
Without resorting to nervous breakdowns and shouts?
Could I ever write down how hurt that I am
And be sure that you can at least understand?

I am completely at a loss, you see
Don't know why I deserve this misery
All I know is that I must ease this stress
To prevent myself from being, once more, depressed

I hope this clears up the confusion I feel
The anger, the sadness, the hope that I'll heal
I know in your world that your skies are still blue
But please read my tears, they're from me, to you.

I agree. Although the concept is there, and an intriguing one it may be, I found that my eyes were skipping to the end just to see the rhyme of the words, and it took out of the impact of the poem. My suggestion? Get a different rhyme scheme.

Your last name kicks ass... Phrasavath! That's awesome. As for the poem, I enjoyed the concept of it (reading tears), but the rhymes - although you did a good job of keeping them smooth - took away from my focus on the content.
