Take my love, take my land, take me where I cannot stand. I don't care, I'm still free, you can't take the sky from me. Take me out to the black. Tell 'em I ain't coming back. Burn the land and boil the sea, but you can't take the sky from me.

Do you know what tears are?
Friends
Closure
The remnants of memories long forgotten
Bandages for the soul
Misery
Hope
Something to cling to
Healers of heartbreak
Beggars for mercy
Whatever they are,
They make you feel whole
Not shattered
For one
Single
Moment

I love this! I like that you debate with the generally accepted meaning of tears, and I like the writing style. Great job! <3
