Dreams

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?

When i was younger i used to have a lot a dreams. I wanted so much for myself from myself and i think that if my 13 year old self were to meet me at 20 she would be slightly disappointed to say the least.

i don't know i find that these days i have no dreams at all. i have no idea what i want out of life from myself, and part of me thinks thats normal. I mean at 20 who really has this whole life thing so but a little direction a little bit of aspirations for something- anything would be a welcome relief

i wanted to be an ice skater a writer, a teacher, i felt the possibilities were only limited my imagination.
As you get older i guess your dreams are supposed to change, right? But to have no dreams at all is a sad state for someone to be in.
