Dreams

A Dream Deferred

Langston Hughes

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?

If the crucial thing is the way he sees you and the reason he wants you, maybe you need to stop giving your time to men who see the wrong things and want you for the wrong reasons.
