You may use an emotion not included in the list. clarence_lee_zhitao https://padlet.com/clarence_lee_zhitao/farrerpark/wish/350185988
Your explanation should  really look at the words / literary devices.

The speaker feels uncomfortable with the past , as shown in 'at least this is what I always say / until something brings it to mind.' 'At least' suggests the speaker is unwilling to admit they have not really 'grown up' or 'left their childhood behind.' The rhyme between "Behind" and "mind" connects the past and present, as if the speaker cannot escape the past.]]> 2019-04-10 01:21:36 UTC https://padlet.com/clarence_lee_zhitao/farrerpark/wish/350185988 Q4: The literary device is: Imagery (5 senses) Metaphor (comparing one object to another) Personification (comparing non-living thing to an animal or human) clarence_lee_zhitao https://padlet.com/clarence_lee_zhitao/farrerpark/wish/350188286 2019-04-10 01:32:23 UTC https://padlet.com/clarence_lee_zhitao/farrerpark/wish/350188286
