Similarly, in our lives, we are afraid of the things that appear to be difficult. The right thing in the poem is the path which appears to be untouched, with leaves that look fresh with no clear destination. Similar to which in our lives they represent the easy choices. The easy thing here in the poem is the road with the “trampled” black leaves. This poem is about choices of our lives, and we must remember that the easy thing and the right thing are never the same things. For once we choose a path, we’ll never be able to come back. But then again, if we decide to choose a path that others don’t and walk unafraid, surely we’ll be happy with our choice. Often we choose what we see others doing or choose the same direction as others. So, just as the author, we are challenged with many choices and opinions about many matters in our lives. All in all, this poem is about the choice the speaker has made. And in the end, years later, he would say that in the woods he came across two roads, and he took the one that was less traveled.

Frost presents how sometimes we have to make a decision without being able to know or see clearly how life-changing that decision will be.Two roads diverged in a yellow wood, And sorry I could not travel both, 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.
