Two roads diverged ahead of me –
one known and one less traveled.
There’s been a lot of talk about
how one should take the latter.

They say to seek the new and strange
is the course that is the wiser,
but both seemed new and strange to me
because I’d never taken either.

I traveled for a bit down one
and found much there was gold,
but soon I wondered what glittering things
the other road might hold.

Changing course is not a thing
one can often do with ease.
I trudged across through underbrush
in the darkness of the trees.

I ran into another path-
who could say where this would go?
But one I went because of course
there’s but one way to know.

I’ve done a lot of traveling now
and there’s much that I have learned.
Each path was often weird to walk
and took many curious turns.

There are many books that I could fill
with what I don’t know yet.
But what I think is true is that
none knows which path is best.

So I say if you’re stuck between two roads
and told that you much choose,
to say p’shaw to others and
do what you want to do.
