How do I say this?

Whenever I meet someone new, I create a long list in my head about everything I see that involves them, down to the shoes they wear to the way their mouth moves. 

This made me think of why i do this, and honestly i still don't know. 

When i meet someone new...

I stare 
although I don't go anywhere
You're face contorts,
because I don't do sports 

My head is bowed 
down to the ground 
shoes tell a story 
whether its lovely or gory 

i won't speak 
or you'll see I'm not at my peak 
I won't frown 
or you'll know I'm down 

I'll act my best 
so you won't contest

I'm having trouble with some friends at the moment and I normal just shut myself away and wont do anything, but this time I turned to poetry and wrote something that I feel resinated with me quite a lot.    I called this poem   - My feelings are lost  Torture, A blade, held in my hand Round and round in a circular band  Depression, A sadness, set deep in my mind Happiness to hard to find  I know these things, although nobody cares People to busy controlling there stares I scratch at my arms and claw at my throat Screaming with silence in my long sleeved coat  Their sharp words, pierce at my ears My dry face beginning to feel the tears Im really grateful that i still have so many amazing people in my life that i can turn to for help and even that i can turn to poe...
