The title of this poem may be the key to its interpretation. The title is not, as it is often mistaken to be, "The Road Less Traveled," but is "The Road Not Taken." If the title were "The Road Less Traveled," the poem would have a stranger focus on nonconformity – taking the path that others don't take.

==>Robert Frost's “The Road Not Taken” poem, the speaker recalls a moment in his life when he had to choose between two paths.
Since he could not travel both roads, he had to take one road.
At first he thinks he has taken the road less travelled, but on second thought, he decides that both roads looked like they had been travelled the same amount.
The speaker remarks that he kept the road he did not take for another day. But realizing that he will probably never have the opportunity again, he wonders where the "road not taken" would have led him.
Since he chose one road, he supposes that in the future he will stand by his choice.
He imagines saying "with a sigh" (implying doubt) that the road he took was the "road less travelled by" and the one that has "made all the difference."
This indicates that the speaker will always wonder about where the "road not taken" would have led him.
