The Road Less Traveled

1

I am an empty road.  Seldom am I accompanied by any vehicles.  Trees are coming down on me.  They clutter me, break me.  I suppose I am a detour.  I'm out of the way.  No one takes the scenic route anymore.  The maps won't tell what's inside of me.  I've barely been explored.  And even then, would they take this road again?  My cracks and craters are my battle scars.  The depict the trouble in my life.  People just run over me, and yet... I want them even more.  What is love, anyway?  Someone to repave and repaint your road.  To set things straight again.  But someday I'll be forgotten... just a lonely stretch of land.2

    This was a really well written piece, not to mention original. I've often that about that 'road less traveled' but I've never thought about what it might think, if given the ability. I know this is going to sound like a mixed compliment, but I like how short it is-- but only because I think that emphasizes every point even more, and you don't distract my attention from the message by going on and on when you should've stopped. And I can't really put my finger on it, but just something about the way this is written appeals to me, makes me want to read it over and over and catch all the little hints and metaphors hiding between the lines (if that makes any sense at all). This was a really intriguing and thought-provoking write, very well done and keep it up.
