What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun? Or fester like a sore— And then run? —Harlem, Poet, Langston Hughes

The poem "Harlem" by Langston Hughes explores the consequences of delaying or abandoning one's dreams. When a dream is deferred, it can lead to frustration, anger, and even resentment. Just like a raisin left out in the sun, a dream left unfulfilled can wither away and lose its vitality. It can also become a source of pain and discomfort, festering like a sore that refuses to heal. Eventually, the pent-up emotions from a postponed dream may overflow and run out uncontrollably. This poem serves as a reminder of the importance of pursuing our dreams and not allowing them to be neglected or ignored. Dreams are meant to be chased and realized, not left to wither and decay. So don't let your dreams dry up or fester - go out there and make them a reality before it's too late.
