I stumbled into acting and just loved it. I deferred law school-and I'm still deferred.

Dream Deferred
a dream deferred is generous
space for love and sacrifices
your fiery wish that that young child
in your warm bossom would not grow up
like you where chances evade like those
clouds flying over the sky
that man you think can grow rich
if you just give him a little helping hand,
cook, iron his clothes and be there when
he needs your inspiration, warmth and love
that old man who you think
should be rewarded with
a string of fine dreams for
deferring his own dream for your sake
because you know how much
a deferred dream could weigh
on the heart, and fly away like crows
scattering bitter black images
over the screens of life

Pray. To ask the laws of the universe to be annulled on behalf of a single petitioner confessedly unworthy.

My name is ricky
i buy and sell pigs
And i am living in one of the islands in the Philippines.
Me and Jeanie.
I almost forgot are still planning to marry.
If my marriage gets annulled finally next year this February.

What happens to a dream deferred? Does it dry up Like a raisin in the sun?... Or does it explode?

Footnotes To Langston's Deferred Dreams
for all the dreams
deferred
and as predicted
exploded
please take note
of the the many
casualties
tonight we
take a few seconds
of silence
and offer them
some prayers.

It knew no lapse, nor Diminuation
560
It knew no lapse, nor Diminuation—
But large—serene—
Burned on—until through Dissolution—
It failed from Men—
I could not deem these Planetary forces
Annulled—
But suffered an Exchange of Territory—
Or World—

Harlem [Dream Deferred]
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?

Across
Across these miles I wish you well.
May nothing haunt your heart but sleep.
May you not sense what I don't tell.
May you not dream, or doubt, or weep.
May what my pen this peaceless day
Writes on this page not reach your view
Till its deferred print lets you say
It speaks to someone else than you.

Hand Me Your Dreams
You have dreams
Suspended, deferred,
Unfulfilled, you still keep
Them without hope
I am here, tell me your
Dreams, hold them like
Delicate glass
Or white egg
Hand them to me
I will wrap them
With this silk
And tie them with
This golden thread
Away from the
Wicked eyes of the world

I am old enough to know that victory is often a thing deferred, and rarely at the summit of courage... What is at the summit of courage, I think, is freedom. The freedom that comes with the knowledge that no earthly think can break you.
