My Journey with Poetry
For me personally, poetry is like a secret language that speaks to my heart. It's a way for me to
express feelings and thoughts that are hard to put into ordinary words. I really like poetry
because it helps me understand myself and the world around me better. I think poems are
important in society because they can bring people together and help us see things from
different perspectives. One of my favorite poems is "The Road Not Taken" by Robert Frost. It's
about making choices in life and how they shape our journey. The lines "Two roads diverged in
a wood, and I— / I took the one less traveled by, / and that has made all the difference" always
make me think about the paths I've taken and the ones I might choose in the future.
