Poem

Road Not Taken

Below mentioned is a poem which I guess all of us would had read in school

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 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


This has been my favourite poem since childhood, so I thought I will pen my own version.

My version.....

Decisions in life- at times simple, at times tuff
At times taken by others, at times for others

Do I follow others, or do I ask for someone to decide
Or do I just flip a coin, and then let the Probability law decide.

Neither of them I do, I just follow my heart,
For even if it goes wrong, it doesn’t tear me apart.

Whatever way it goes, were ever it takes me,
Whatever I do, it sure will help me,

For if it is right, it adds to the success.
And if it wrong, it adds the experience.
