The Road Not Taken
I see what I want
I know what I get
And remember things that I just cant forget
I know what I know
I hear what I hear
And do what I can to keep my mind clear
I see the mistakes
Those around me make
But I won’t play that game
I’m staying the same
True to my name
Strong one
That’s right
Thats who I am
And for the future
I’m making my plans
Believe me when I tell you
I know where I’ve been
And I am comfortable in the skin I’m in
I don’t know where I’m going
But there’s a path I’m making
Yeah I got a road
It’s just the road not yet taken

This poem reminded me a lot of Robert Frost's famous poem of the same name, especially because both poems bring up the idea of individuality. However, Frost's poem speaks about doubting one's individuality while your poem is more upbeat and speaks about being confident and strong about where you go in life, showing that it is important for us all to believe in ourselves.

Great poem! I've read 'The Road Not Taken' and I like it but this is more positive and without regrets and so full of confidence. I really like this poem, the way it flow so smoothly and your word choice that brought out your message so clearly. It also has an unusual shape, as though climbing a rough road with ups and downs but it keeps going so even the shape paints a picture for me. good work, keep it up and stay positive.
