The Road Not Taken

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 marked 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.

~Robert Frost

Mood: -Stressed but yet peaceful ;p

Song of the moment: -Leaving on a jet-plane (dedicated to Z for making me listen to it over and over again ;p)

I remember the day I read this poem, it was a few years ago and the last day of school before the exams and summer. It was my teacher's last day too as she was leaving the school and so she said she had something that she wanted to give to the class. She took out a big bag and in it there were scrolls of paper, with each of our names scrawled neatly into a different piece of paper. When I approached her to take my paper, she smiled and said: 'I hope you grow to achieve this, don't follow in others footsteps but rather create a path for others to follow'. I'll always cherish her words and not a day goes by where I don't wonder whatever did happen to her.

-I hope this poem helps you all out and elightens you as much as it did with me ;*

P.s: Robert Frost has always been one my favourite poets, you should definitely check his other poems out!

Until next time,
