Familiar with this poem? It is a form 5 poem we learnt. It is still fresh in my mind, the day I first came across this poem. It was a fine day, where my two highschool friends and me sitting by the dining table, having english tuition at home. The tutor is dedicated. He tried to explain every hidden message of this poem.
Ignorant. This is perhaps the best word to describe me at that time. I should have learnt the lesson, but instead I laughed away the tuition hours. I did not know the meaning of it, not to mention it did not bother me even the slighest.
After 4 years, today, look at myself and back into the past. I have a strange feeling in there. It somehow hurts. I doubt. I doubt about myself. Did I make the correct choice? This poem popped out of my mind. Ironically, it was the first thing that came into my mind. It perfectly describe how i feel.
Everytime, I see them doing what they always wanted to do, they are so happy. And, when they speak about it, I can see they smile from their heart, the purest smile. I can only fake a smile when I think of myself in turn.
Do not feel sad for me, as I have as much freedom as most people, to choose what I want. I made the choice to be who I am now.
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I--
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.
