Two Roads

"(Two roads) diverged in a yellow wood and I choose the one less traveled by and that has made all the difference."  Quote by - Robert Frost 

As a child,
I did my own thing.
Not following others was my rule,
I traveled the road less traveled.
As time went on,
so did life.
I wore what I liked,
not what was in fashion.
Many compliments came my way,
being myself has paid off.
One might think the road less traveled is lonely,
I have found it filled with creative people.

Paula, I am glad you posted this poem, it shows the value of making choices independent of the norm. I don't have my nails done professionally and it has saved me boo coos. Don't wear the most expensive styles of anything and I am comfortable in being different like you. Great write.
