What happens to a dream deferred? <br /> <br />Does it wither up <br />And die away? <br /> <br />Does it get lost <br />Like a shadow in the dead of night? <br /> <br />Does it go unanswered <br />Like so many prayers? <br /> <br />Does it thrive <br />In the back of your mind <br />Looking for a chance to escape? <br /> <br />Or does it stay <br />Just hidden behind <br />So many thoughts and worries <br />There in the back of your mind? <br /> <br />What happens to a dream deferred?<br /><br />Cheylee Miller<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/dream-deferred-2/
