The Road Not Taken

Tomorrow is my 20th birthday, and i started to think. Wow, Ive lived two decades already, where has time gone? Am i going the right path, have i made the right decisions? This is one of my favorite poems and I'm sure all of you have read it before. It reminds me to make my own path in life, even if its sometimes hard. I think you come out a stronger person when u take the path less taken. That's what motivates me to continue with school and make my own decisions.


The Road Not Taken, By Robert Frost


Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as far as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,

And having perhaps the better claim,

Because it was grassy and wanted wear;

Though as for that the passing there

Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay

In leaves no step had trodden black.

Oh, I kept the first for another day!

Yet knowing how way leads on to way,

I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh

Somewhere ages and ages hence:

Two roads diverged in a wood, and I-

I took the one less traveled by,

And that has made all the difference.
