Answer 2

The poet is standing at a point in the woods where the road forks into two. He finds it difficult to decide which road to take. To him both the roads were just as the same that particular day. He feels that the second road is has better outcomes than the first one.

At first he doubts his decision whether the decision of taking the second road is correct or not. He doubts his decision due to uncertainty. He is doubtful whether he would be able to come back to try the first road or not.
The poet wants to convey the message that we should take all decisions very carefully as one decision paves way for many other decisions in our life....
