Clearing out the overgrown trees
Of the world's cliche societies
Paving a road through the tangled vines
Crossing over those boundery lines
The road is filled with stumps and roots
But it is on that road that she commutes
The crowd doesn't even murmurr
As she walks the road she laid down before her
They see freedom in her eyes
But the truth they will never realize
A road paved with a vivid hue
That turns her body green and blue
As she breaks the unspoken rule
Forgets what society defines as cool
The crown snickers but she in unshaken
As she proudly walks the road not taken
Author notes
I give Robert Frost credit for his poem The Road Not Taken which partly inspired this poem along with the picture.

I noticed the title right off and I'm glad you credited Mr. Frost! We would all do well to take his advice and live our own lives freely and gloriously. I think he would be honored by your tribute to his words. The last line is my favorite. Hold your head up and go the way that's right for you!
