The Meaning

A Dream Deferred

By Cameron CaseyPublished 3 years ago 1 min read

A dream deferred.

Is it just a dream?

Or is it a reality we are waiting to happen?

I was once told dreams are realities waiting for you to take action.

If that's true why are so many people in careers they hate?

Where they not able to overcome the obstacles that were in their way?

Or did they just accept the reality fate gave them.

Again what is a dream deferred?

What if the dream stays deferred?

Would that be time wasted?

Or investing time in a reality wanted?

Only you can determine if it's time wasted.

Once more what is a dream deferred?
