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?[/quote]
Some individuals are heavily discouraged from pursuing their dreams, many whose feelings & thoughts are dismissed, even now, and some are driven to insanity.
