I took the road less travelled by,

And that has made all the difference

For what this path has steered me from,

Was a stagnant life, void of passion and bliss

I took the road less travelled by,

The narrow one with much less green grass

One covered by trees and silent like thieves

I had to trust my gut, for too long had I questioned my moral compass

The other road was faced with colourful leaves and flora

It had tire tracks on its feet and calluses on its hands

The other road was wide, it was nice, and bitingly welcoming

The road I took only had footprints in the sand

Both my innocence and fear led me down this road,

But I decided that it was about time

About time I live for myself while I was still alive

About time I grew a backbone and straightened my spine

I took the road less travelled by,

I took the road with greater stories to be told

I took the road less travelled by,

I took the road that gifted me a new home
