I think that the poem, "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost symbolizes a person making a difficult decision. The speaker of the poem is choosing whether to follow a crowd or to take the "less traveled" road. I believe it refers to making a decision because of the line, "I doubted if I should ever come back". The speaker isn't aware of what either path might lead to, but he is forced to choose between them anyway. He chooses the unique path, and it changes his life.
I chose this poem because I like the meaning. It encourages others to be thoughtful and make decisions wisely. It makes me think of choosing careers in particular, something I have thought about a few times. I think the poem is encouraging people to choose hobbies and interests they enjoy doing rather than based on which others have, another idea I think about a little more often.
