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?

 

By Langston Hughes  (February 1, 1902 – May 22, 1967)
