The Road Not Taken

Hour 23 : Random Prompt used: Took the Title of the Robert Frost Poem, but changed the poem completely

 

In moments of screaming solitude

reflection pays a visit

and digs up questions

I’d rather stay buried

 

where is the sense

in disturbing the earth

already well settled

chasing chimeras of

“What if”s and ” maybe”s

 

Where is the sense

in wishing for the road not taken

when the one I took

has shaped my life’s story

 

And wishing for it to not be so

is wishing I were not me

 

 

 

One thought on “The Road Not Taken

  1. I love the way you make us think by questioning us on facts rather than telling us what should be. I felt like I was having a dialogue with the writer instead of just reading a point of view.
