It is strange how a poem can help define what you are. I first read these words at age 9, in a child's magazine. I was so struck by them, they stayed with me since then. Time and again, I have read these words, even used the quote of them in my high school yearbook. I found a lot of peace, knowing that I am not the only different person out there.
The Road Not Taken
By 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 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.
