Analysis of The Road Less Traveled
A path well tread
Worn down by many pairs of feet
Step by step
Befriended by people we meet
In living day to day
We tend to follow the easy route
The popular choice
Scenic, adventurous and cute
But in time you’ll want to
Go your own way
Follow the voice calling you
Let it take you away
Into the unknown
Where you’ve not been before
To see what awaits you
The adventure behind that door
When opportunity knocks
Decisions must be made
Take the road to happiness
Walk the path unafraid
