The Road Not Taken

by Monsterxx4

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

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.

It is! And inspiration is what makes for great writing even if the writer doesn't know it.

It's great that we can use other poets as inspiration for our own poetry.

This poem was actually inspired by the Robert Frost poem and I did want to look at it from a different perspective and I'm glad that I've achieved that based on your comment.

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.
