A Dream Deferred

What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
Like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore--
And then run?
Does it stink like rotten meat?
Or crust and sugar over--
like a syrupy sweet?
Maybe it just sags
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?

A person finally wake up and know not all dreams can be reality so they just fade away as u grow up and get wiser … don’t u think?

It expands to devour every other dream, living little to dream for. We always pine for the one that slipped away.
On secound though, I'll take an unrealized dream over a disappointing one. Aren't they all, though?
I need to ponder on it some more.

i think it stays in the back of your head and comes up again no matter how big or small a dream it is..

totally agree with gone bonkers because
alot of times I wake up and don't remember a dream but then during the day something reminds me.
