Crying

An honest person cries over a broken heart
when frustrated or angry, or embarrassed from a fart

They jump with joy when they are happy and out comes a gleeful tear
they pee their pants and start to moan when experiencing fear

A guilty person decides to cry when they think they deserve more
manipulate the ones they love just to make them soar

Take attention from those who earn it just to feel alright
most of the time there's nothing wrong- their pettier lacks insight

But even if you cry a lot, or even a bit too often
people don’t see
the possibility
that maybe you do feel rotten
