  Here is another poem I wrote inspired by "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost, my poem is called choices... Enjoy :)

Two roads diverged in the land of uncertainty

One towards a steep barren mountain

And the other next to a cool, rushing river

I looked up to the mountain

But could not see because of the unforgiving sun

Without looking ahead, I took the one next to the river, for it was easiest

But perhaps to wrong choice

For as I walked the path slid from under me

Path worn from all those ahead of me

And I was dumped into the vicious river

As it’s icy figures pulled me under

I saw many others caught in the water next to me

I took the choice many before me took

And paid the price

For if I climbed the mountain, on the way up I would of seen the giant tree at the top

Sadly, I tell this tale of a fool

Years hence when I too the plunge into normality

Two roads diverged in the land f uncertainty, and, I

Took the road most traveled by

And that has made all the difference

It made me nothing special, nothing new

I am but one out of a river of most

Forever going with the flow

I have paid the price of taking the easy way

With my dream, hopes, and life
