| 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. |

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. |
