A DREAM DEFERRED



A DREAM DEFERRED

what happens to a dream deferred
does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
or fester like sore?
and the run?
does it stink like rotten meat?
or crust and sugar sugar over like a heavy load?
or does it it expand?

A dream deferred
by:angelica claro

what happens to a mothers memory?
does it dry up like dry skin?
or like dirt?
and the dark.
does it stink like bad breath?
or rotten frosting on a b-day cake?
that you never get to try?
maybe it just sticks in your mind .
like nothing happen when it actually did.
or does it float on your mind like million pieces.

What I am trying to say in this poem is what happens to a mothers dream of finding her daughter.Does it hide on her mind that she did not see her daughter in her b-day,because she was kidnap.A mother cannot forget what happen to her daughter.It just sticks in her mind no knowing what to do.
