I took the road less traveled by
There were no signs to point my way.
Few men that path had taken,
And I found it rough, unpaved.
It wound and twisted,
Split and forked,
And in the shadows Fear did lurk.
But in the sunlight I could see
The road less traveled fitted me.
And on that road I found myself,
A me I never knew walked out.
And on that path I found a friend,
Who walked beside me to its end.

Not everyone wants to do the expected. You always have choices. Don't be afraid to try the road less traveled.
