The Road Not Taken

THE ROAD NOT TAKEN
(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.
Well, another poem I got from literature class. Somehow, I feel that this poem is so me (gw banget, gitu loh!!). I know, that life has so much paths, and not all paths were equally taken. Some paths were rarely taken, or even never been taken before. And to think further abut thing called normality, or usuallity, which decided by majoruty, people who took the other paths will be considered strange, nerd, geek, or whatsoever! You know, I'm one of them. I'm a part of people who took that strange path. Sometimes, it's kinda hard to be something strange, because of others' mockery or commentary. It's depressing though, but somehow, deep inside me, I'm proud to be different, and let me tell you all what a Nerd and Geek can do. Because I took the one less traveled by, and that will made all the difference!!!!
