This poem is a bit tricky that most people misinterpret that it was suggested to follow some untrodden way. But the poet indicates the indecisiveness in people.
In this poem, Robert Frost refers to his friend Edward Thomas who would go in one way and feels sorry that he missed going the other. The poet refers to the human nature through his friend saying that everyone would sigh, thinking that the other might be wonderful than this.
"I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I—
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference."
