Emotion Aerobics

Sadness

I’ve been feeling blue.

My sadness is driving me to madness.

All that is in view is doom and gloom.

Instead of included I feel excluded.

I wish to have relief from my grief.

I can’t help but frown from feeling down.

You can’t call me a respondent because lately I’ve been despondent.

Disgust

I am green with envy.

Instead of being full of awe I feel awful.

Although I am repelled, I am pulled into the disgust.

I wish there was removal of the disapproval.

Although that is not what I meant, I am filled with embarrassment.

Afraid

The shadow of gray covers my path.

What is not near is what I fear.

I am consumed with apprehension due to lack of comprehension.

We save face to avoid disgrace.

I wish for anxiety to not use my mind as propriety.

I wish I could be whelmed instead of overwhelmed.

After how all had fared, I worried and scared.

I am horrified, petrified, and terrified.

Anger

All I see is red.

Here’s all my frustration because of the situation.

My thoughts are fast and furious.

I am irate about this fate.

Since I’m not in, I’m outraged.

I am irritated and aggravated.

Surprise

I am feeling a bit like an orange since some may not have expected me.

Let’s start now that I’m startled.

Have I been electrocuted?

Because I feel shocked.

I cannot relax because I’m perplexed.

Happiness

I am feeling mellow yellow.

Oh, what a delight!

I am glad that I’m not mad.

All I want to say is yippee because of my glee.

No matter the content I am content.

I am excited, stoked, and hyped.

Oh deary, how I am cheery.

I am thrilled beyond belief.
