Tears are the loudest, silent cry that nobody ever hears,

Mine has never quite fallen, but I've been crying inside for years,

~

I show I'm strong, a fighter, a sturdy ship's faithful mast,

But inside I know I'm nothing but an eccedentesiast,

~

Tears are nothing but droplets of pain,

As I've always said; crying may release agony, but it has no useful gain,

~

Instead of letting out water, I let out a powerful word,

For unlike tears that are silent, my curses and words will be heard.
