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?
There am done copyin!! at first it might seem depressin.... like d previous post of mine.. but read it again n u might find a sliver of a ray of hope!!!!
try it wud ya??
