The road less travelled
is a road still travelled
Do I think for myself
when taking the paved road?

Paved by split palms of others
but the other, palms still split
Not enough to pave the path
The privileged take little risk

And who can blame them?
Who desires split palms?
Yet I choose to scar my hands
as I can choose to scar my hands
and I take the road less travelled

But is this choice a choice?
Or have I convinced myself it is?
Am I privileged to make a choice?
Or was this choice not chosen?

If I took the road most travelled
would I make it out of the woods?
