This is a self composed poem inspired by ‘The Road Not Taken’ by Robert Frost.
While going to school,
Sitting in the bus all alone
Pondering upon a 1000 things, I saw a heart capturing road
The road I wished to take
The road I wanted to walk on
It gave me peace and a sense of calm
Maybe because it wanted wear
I gave all my heart to the road
Wishing to leave my footsteps on it
Holding the hands of that one person on whom I could rely
Walking on the road which I always wished to walk on
And oh! With a sigh I got to know that this wished-to-be-taken road was a leading street to someone’s house
That someone whom I never knew
But I wish ever I could, go and seek the permission…being able to walk on the road
Which I always wished to.
