If you are frustrated, you are snappy

If you are angry, you are testy

If you cry, you are sensitive, or a girl

Stand up for yourself, and you are chippy or a turd.

If you are happy, don’t act childish

If not, don’t be such a spoilsport.

If you love dearly, you are a pushover

Or else a stone-hearted rover.

If you care, you overstep

But you don’t know how not to.

If you are the best, oh my god so much attitude!

If you stand last, oh such low aptitude.

If you strive to improve, you are never satisfied.

If you get comfortable, you are easily gratified.

If you can talk well, you are manipulative

If you plan well, you are calculative.

You are either self-centered or a people pleaser,

A bookworm or oblivious,

Rude or timid,

Artificial or sloppy.

Everyone seems to have a role to play,

A label to give.

Anger, grief, lethargy, despair, breakdown,

Joy, love, determination, confidence, and excitement,

Are a witness that you are alive

Express away and live to thrive.
