Crying can make you seem weak
The world is viewing you helpless
The wicked have a vile chance to seek
Many ways to viciously cause stress
Some regard weeping as lame
Behold tears as a feeble emotion
Deny grief affects them the same
Claim it’s just sympathetic promotion
In a world so grossly aesthetic
Sobbing is just not the fashion
To lament is considered pathetic
The strong don’t show such compassion
Such lies exist in that statement
Hidden feelings are no show of might
Once buried they stay inside latent
Before hurt force them out into sight
You’re not weak for displaying humility
If you think this explain to me why
It takes strength to show vulnerability
And whole lot of courage to cry
Please tell me what you think

Wow. Everything in this is so true. I hate crying, personally, but I've had my moments. A lot of moments.. but I still think crying for me is showing weakness. I don't know I'm screwed up. Thank you for posting this anyway.
