My Mistake

I took a walk on a road less travelled
And all around me there were weeds
And brambles.  The trees were bare
Of leaves and stood like frozen marble

I took a walk on a road less travelled 
And I became confused, and lost
My way.  I met people I didn’t like and 
felt terribly abused.

I took a walk on a road less travelled 
And that was a mistake. I thought
I could change my life, but that was not
To be.  now I’m looking for a paved road

And I really do need some help.
