I travel roads less passed by all;
Mind trapped within my world.
Blue eyes are distant, bleak and small
And fingers: burned and curled.

I lie awake my lonely nights,
Awaiting my late peace.
Tears bonded to my rocky plight;
Their falling fails to cease.

My self-esteem has disapeared
While People's laughter grows.
The blood of innocence is smeared;
My scars: lined up in rows.

This is really well-written. It's always hard being diffrent from everyone else, but you should never change for anyone. Just keep going the way you are. Thanks for posting.

  Hey everyone! Thanks so much for reading and replying.  And Ina, a conformist would be a person who falls into society's way of doing everything, so a non-conformist would be the opposite. Thanks again!!

I liked that stanza a lot and the whole poem is done very well.  Great job
