Uprooted

Recently, there are times when I wake up that I feel like I need to move on again. Leave the comfortable life that I have. Times when I'm worn out and I'm losing my focus. 

Yet when I look back, the feeling that I no longer belong to any place runs true. I've lived in places both trying and beautiful, and when the going gets tough as they say, I just moved on. 

Now I'm at a cross road again. First step. Nay or aye?










The Road Not Taken
By Robert Frost 1874-1963

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveler, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim,
Because it was grassy and wanted wear;
Though as for that, the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden back.
Oh, I kept the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way,
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence;
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I -
I took the one less traveled by,
And that has made all the difference.

Now I know my answer...
