A Dream Deferred
What happens to a dream deferred?
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?
like a heavy load.
Or does it explode?
Instead of a free post this week, we are to write about what happens to a dream that is deferred, or put to the side. I believe that a dream deferred stinks like rotten meat that you can't get rid of. Let's say that this stink is in your house and it stays there forever. You can still go throughout your life without any problems, but the smell will never go away. It will always constantly be there and remind you of that dream,and how you never achieved it.
For example, one of the most sought after dreams in the entire world is to become a sports star. However, this is one of the hardest goals to accomplish. Let's take Bob as an example. Bob grew up around football, and he loved to play. Bob got really good and even got a partial scholarship to play at college. Unfortunately, Bob never got drafted to the NFL. His dream has failed. Bob becomes a banker and it pays well so he decides to stay with it for a while. Bob is happy, but he still remembers how he could not achieve his true dream. Every time he watches football on tv or talks about it with his friends, it reminds him of how he couldn't make it to the big time. Bob's dream of becoming a professional football star will never be forgotten. A dream deferred never goes away. It will stay with you forever, deep down in your heart.
