Blue Class - Emotions

This week, Blue Class have been writing poetry based on emotions. This afternoon these pieces were produced having built on their ideas over the course of the last 5 days.

I don't mean to be happy

or to be sad

and bad.

I'm good at smiling

that's just me

and if you don't like it

let it be.

My favourite thing

that puts a smile on my face

is the people around me

being happy.

If you don't believe me

come and see

I'm happy.

You're the only thing

that makes me smile.

He comes when you need him

He is always full of joy

He never stops smiling

He is never angry or sad

And he is always happy no matter what

What do you think I am ?

People think

I come with a rainbow

or a surprise

but I do not.

I can sometimes

but not always

for I am happiness.

All I ask for

is a child's love

and nothing else.

For when they are sad

or angry with something

I swallow 

those feelings inside

At Christmas when Santa's here

People think I'm not here

it's just Santa

but no, I'm always here.

I am who I am
I am who I am
why can't people accept that?
When I get scared
people make fun of me
when I cry
they call me names.
I accept who they are,
why can't they accept me?
I find it tedious
when will they stop?
I try not to care
but it just doesn't work.
Oh when will it stop?
I just have to get on
maybe one day I'll be happy
instead of being annoyed
which is what I am now.

It strangles sadness, despair, fear and anger

it delivers love, joy and hope

which all together equal something special.

It picks you up,

places you in the spot-light

and gives you amazing features.

It makes sure you're unique

different from everybody

inhabiting the planet.

It kills anxiety that has been

in your heart 

for ages.

It talks to you at night

and visits you

when you're lonely

It takes the weight

that lines your shoulders

and hurls them away

into the atmosphere.

It makes me strong

when I am not.

Anger strikes me

Nearly kicks me

It even hit me

I rarely get it

but when it comes

I just can't beat it.

I think I'll stick to joy.

Please, please

stop it, stop it

I don't like it

leave me alone.

Why can't you see that?

Don't make me cry

help me, help me

someone, please!

I can't stand it

Don't make me cry.

What should I do?
I've used up my mum's fave perfume
she'll find out soon
I hope she'll assume
that it was the dog!
Oh well...

He comes when you need him

He is always full of joy

He never stops smiling

He is never angry or sad

And he is always happy no matter what

What do you think I am?

Hello everyone

I love to smile

I never hide my shame

unless it's a trial.

I would never lie

because I get very shy

if I did

I'd offer you some pie.

I love pears

but I don't accept dares

if it was something bad

I'd have nightmares.

Anger, anger
it's all around us
left, right, up and down
anger's everywhere.
ANGER
When you just go down
to the shop
when you drive through
your local town
I bet you'll see ANGER.


The boy who was alone
never spoke a word
always without a friend.
There he was
in the corner of the room
as soon as you spot him
he'd run away.
We never knew why...
You shine as you do the right things

for other people

but sometimes you can overdo a good thing

and it makes people angry

when someone breaks your memory

you get angry

but sometimes the lightning strikes

and you can't stop.

Why does that happen?

What should I do?

There's no going back

beginning to get lonesome.

It destroys the love inside you

it wants to destroy your happy life

and makes you despair

there's no going back.

When you get angry

it changes the whole of the world

inside of you

and everything becomes miserable.

It spreads laughter

it dries up your tears

it reigns over you

you wonder where it is?

You need it in your life

it's right there

if you need it

come and get it.

He is a man full of joy

with a face full of hope.

You can cuddle against him when you're sad

he can cheer you up in the darkest hours

for he lives inside everyone

and will do forever.

He destroys sadness within you

speeds around you with his big rosy cheeks.

He has a staff

that can spread laughter

and clouds disappear wherever he travels.

You must hope he never goes

as he takes away sadness

in this world. 

It makes me smile

as it rises up inside me.

It makes me sigh with bliss.

It overflows like water

infecting everyone it touches.

When I laugh I can't stop.

When it gets into my system

it comes and conquers everything.

It brings cheer

it brings joy

it makes me see the world

through different eyes.

It switches my mood

it turns me around

it conquers me

making me only feel...

I am the boy with a lonely sigh

I am the boy who will sit and cry

I am the boy who is sad and loopy

I am the boy who's never happy or loopy.

But, one day I will see

the world in peace and harmony.

It creeps up without me knowing

and takes me by surprise

my hands get sweaty and sticky

and I know I'm gonna cry.

They always expect so much

and sometimes I can deliver

but when it doesn't make sense

I start to feel myself shiver

and get in a complete mess...

I am happy today

because I have the biggest smile on my face

at school I made

a new friend.

Lucky me.

Even though i might not

be pretty or beautiful

I am still wonderful, kind

and caring.

Some people think

that their life is full of sorrow

always expecting sadness.

But in everybody's life

there will be happiness.

Most people treasure kindness

where others may not.

Kindness is important

it's what everybody needs.

I like the outside

I don't mind if they don't like me

I'm not going to change.

Maybe I can make friends with them

but I'm not going inside

It is so pretty out here.

I don't mind if you disagree,

I cannot change.

It swallows happiness

it destroys confidence

it supports despair

and encourages loneliness.

It drowns you in a sea of emptiness...

There's something missing

it's never there.

I wonder where it is,

where it is in the world?

I do not know.

There's something missing

it's never there.

Will it ever return?

I want to know

why I never see it.

There's something missing

it's never there.

I want it badly

I need it desperately

to guide me through life

though it isn't there.

There's something missing

it's never there.

There's no happiness without it

oh, when will it come?

I miss it all day and night.

There's something missing

it's never there

though when it comes back

happiness will reign.

There's something missing

it's never there.

When will it return?

Like a ball of light

it lights up the darkest night.

Sadness has no place to come in

when you're feeling like this -

chuck sadness in the bin.

You cannot beat it

it's invisible.

Try to beat it and you'll fail

it is indestructible.

My emotion is so hard to explain

it's like anger

and sadness

blended together

by a mixer in my stomach.

I make the most of my time

Spring

Summer

Autumn

Winter.

My smile is like the sun

my laugh lights the world

I make the most of my time

my friends respect who I am

and I appreciate that.

The one thing I try to do

is carry on lighting the world.
