The Road Now Taken

An Adaptation of "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost

Two roads diverged in a modern world

But they told me I could not travel both

So, weighing my options, long I stood

Wishing to run down the first road as far as I could

Towards creativity and passion and growth 

Then took the other, the typical fare

The one where I work for others to gain

Because it paid well and came with flair

Though as for that, those with me there

Had nothing to show but toil in vain

Both paths that once before me laid

Have taught me so much of want and lack

Oh, I should’ve taken the first that very day!

Yet when it comes to comfort and benefits and pay

The first road was the harder track

But now, I can no longer deny

This knowing, this obvious dissonance:

Two roads diverged in a modern world, and I’m —

I’m now choosing the first road to travel by

And that will make all the difference
