The lonely road not taken

As previously, exquisitely described
Famously by a poet who once wrote
Too I come to the crossroads
Paths that differ in ways provocative

One path is wide open, well-kept
The road is paved neatly, well-lit
Well trodden and surrounded
On the side by roses beautifully

The other road is narrow, un-kept
Unclearly known to where it leads
The clarity of the endpoint is undiscovered
The wildflowers grow over the path

Which do I choose?
The clear cut path to success?
The lonely road not taken?
The decision seems apparently simple

I shall choose the narrow path
The difficult one people rarely try
I am a trailblazer, unsurprisingly
I'll learn on the fly, my will withstands

My mind is set on the journey
A change is in order for good
I am willing to try for the better
I will cut a new path to enlightenment

Why take the lonely road not taken?
Because I am me, I am who I am
To clearly state what that poet, Robert Frost, said:
"And that has made all the difference."

Isolation

The realization hits
harsh and fast
causing massive fits
the wind does not fill the mast

Isolation encompasses me
loneliness is my friend
no escape I am not free
stuck I am not on a mend

The maze is tremendous
infinitely dark
the path is unlit horrendous
my fate is stark

Isolation
no where to go
utter calamity and destruction
the current of my life ceases to flow.
