The Road Less Traveled: A Continuation
As I journeyed on, the road grew steeper,
And the way more difficult to tread.
But I pressed on, driven by the thrill
Of the unknown that lay ahead.
The road wound through dense forests,
And crossed babbling brooks,
And though I faltered at times,
I never gave in to second looks.
For I knew that this road less traveled
Was leading me to something great,
A destination that only I
Could determine, not fate.
And as the sun began to set,
I saw the road ahead grow clear,
And I knew that I had reached
The place I'd been striving for all these years.
So I paused to take a breath,
And looked back on the road I'd come,
And I knew that all the struggles
Were worth it, for what I'd become.
For though the road may be hard,
And the journey long and steep,
I wouldn't have it any other way,
For it's made me who I am, and that's a treasure to keep.
As I stood in the clearing,
I couldn't help but feel a sense of pride.
For I had journeyed on the road less traveled,
And had come out the other side.
But my journey was not yet over,
As I looked ahead and saw,
Another fork in the road,
And more choices to explore.
Do I continue on the road I'm on,
Or do I take a new path,
The choices are endless,
And the outcome uncertain.
But I'll trust my gut,
And the lessons I've learned,
And I'll take the road less traveled,
For that is where growth and knowledge are earned.
So I'll step out with courage,
And keep on moving ahead,
For the road not taken,
Is the one that will lead me to where I truly want to be,
And that is all that matters in the end.
