The Spill That Started It All

It drips down my paper

Runs down the spine

Covering everything

With words that are mine

Painful teardrops, sullen years

My pen brushes down all those awful fears

Yet smoothly, elegant

Not a bit refrained

Come words of hope

And joy unstrained

With every brush and stroke

The ink spills all to know

Black characters on pure white

My heart is there to show

Beauty is found in the blackest mark

No mistake can society condemn

My ink spills downward, down the page

It is for me…for her… for him
