Emotions In Motion

Pleasure threw a party for her friends to come, she sent invitations out to each and every one. There were 10 responses and Pleasure did assume it would be fun to see them interacting in one room. Unfortunately the 10 who were about to show had issues with each other ,things she didn’t know. Joy had left depression just a month before, couldn’t tolerate his negativity no more. Paranoia kept Bewildered so confused, the more mixed up she got the more he was amused. Affection tried to help Obsession understand, how her food addiction was getting out of hand. Apathy was drinking wine coolers as a crutch, all emotions were aware that she indulged too much. Acceptance and Joy showed up late but seemed content, they were welcome at every emotional event. Depression was not over Joy, he saw her and felt blue, Bewildered was sure that Paranoia hid her shoe. Anxiety lost Acceptance and nervously confessed he brought Assertiveness to help him mingle with the rest. Affection accused Obsession of eating the buffet, Paranoia tried to leave, Assertiveness stood in his way, in the kitchen drinking by herself was Apathy, Joy and Acceptance both enjoyed the hospitality. Then Joy helped Bewildered put both of her shoes on, Paranoia fell for Apathy, they both stayed till dawn. Acceptance told Anxiety she 'd liked him as a friend, Affection said “I’m sorry” to Obsession in the end. Pleasure was quite happy only 10 guests were there, if there had been more it might have been a wild affair, each one settled, got along and as you can presume all emotions set in motion made for a busy room.

Very descriptive with good rhyming. This entry tells an amusing story. There's just one item to correct in the last line of the second verse: eliminate the double negative that is present there by changing "no" to "any".
