The Road Not Taken

Litreature was introduced to us for the first time when I was in Form 4. Some of the short stories were really interesting, while most of the poems are just.. well, poems... which I don't find much joy in reading. hehe..However, one particular poem that left a very deep impression, and I find meaningful was this one - The Road Not Taken.

At that time, the feeling I got after reading was that life's full of choices and decisions to make! What piqued my interest was the mysterious road that's not taken. Where will it lead me to, if I were to choose the other path? Will I be different? (sure I will!) Will I be happy? (que sara sara) hehe... Whatever will be, will be! :)

"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.
