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

Feelings

I wrote another poem and I don't know what to say, if I'm being honest, one of the main things that I've learnt throughout learning poetry, its that it comes from the heart and your feelings. 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...

Why is it so hard to think of poems???

Today I wrote a poem from looking at a picture. My prompt was dark with misty trees, and it made me feel lonely. I used the emotions I felt to create my poem! My poem is set in a boat on a river and I can see feel and hear all of these things - from the knitted jumper to the wailing wind and fishing rod in my fist. Foggy trees and soggy leaves, Wrapped in a coat of mist. Wailing wind and tight knit sleeves, Hair done in a twist. Cold dry knees long dark streams, Hand curled in a fist.  Use a creese and kill me please, I am nothing if not a hedonist.  This poem doesn't have a title.

Another day Another poem!

Today I wrote 2 poems  I wrote one during my lesson and another when I went out for a walk. The first poem I wrote, I was in a bad mood and it made me write as tho this was the case, although I am not being bullied I can imagine what it would be like if it were to happen to someone. I called this poem - S omething to think about.  I don’t like the feeling of sand beneath my toes  I don’t like bad hair days but nobody knows The feeling of people who act like they care The feeling of people without their despair Not only this but i hate my eyes Not only this but u should also realise My drive to try  My drive to die  I hope next time you change your mind  I hope next time you try to be kind to create this poem we did an activity that involved righting down our likes and dislikes which made me think of ways to rhyme and the best ones for rhyming where my dislikes. The second poem I wrote was when I was going for a late night walk in my Pj's, because i was thi...
