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 dream deferred stays there, like a dog patiently waiting for its master.  Although you might forget about it, it will never throw a fit.  It will not simply fade away, like a dandelion in a windy day.  Nor would it be suddenly gone, like the moon after dawn.  Even if its only small, like a tiny ball; it would still be there, like a  hungry bear.  Have you ever wondered how, like a polka-dotted cow?  I do too, like a zebra in a zoo.  Truth is, no one knows, like how water gets pushed through a hose.  But nevertheless it remains, like the water when it rains.  Maybe it's natural, like all warm blooded animals?  Or it just eerily exists, like the morning mist.  Either way, it's just gonna stay.  So you might as well say, "I'll see you again someday"."

I believe that dreams that are there, will never be gone, even if you try to remove them.  Somewhere, somehow, it will always be on the back of your mind.  Maybe there's an area of your brain where all your dreams are stored, who knows?  The fact that the dreams never dissolves tells you something.  It tells you that you can still follow and achieve your dreams even though you might be beyond that part.  It doesn't matterif your dream is impossible, like breathing underwater with no respiration equipment.  The future just might have pills you can take, so you can even breathe underwater.  Maybe they're even discovered by you, just because you're so dedicated to following your dreams.  Dreams are powerful objects, and can change everything, but only if you follow them.
