The Road Not Taken

Play Audio
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 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.

Personally I'm a big fan of saying "two paths diverged in the woods..." right after i say something really stupid.
isn't it crazy that we both came up with this independently
 
Two roads I grip in blackened tar,
Synthetic to my hands unbreaking
Symptom of my own unmaking
Asphalt is my open heart

Two roads hear my ancient plea:
Organic metamorphosis
Equally they rise for me
And I don't know how else to say this:

Sound of breath and short of mind
Power of my own design
Digging out our stage unfurled
Gaze on magic of this world!

Lariat to orchestration,
Music bent inside my power
Felagund's high contestation -
If some among us know that hour

Quietly return to Earth
Exit my examination
Get your grade at the door,
And remember that two roads can go the same places
