Dream Deferred

The title of the poem is "Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes.
I think his purpose for writing this piece was to show that people don't take time and effort to achieve their dreams. In my opinion Langston Hughes is trying to point out that maybe people think that they shouldn't even try because they won't reach their goals and they dwell on the bad. "Maybe it just sags like a heavy load." I don't really know at this point ....


My personal connection to this poem is that I tend to put things off if I feel I cannot accomplish something. Which is not the best decision, you should try your best at everything you do. I think it's trying to say never give up on your dreams because the regret will be on your shoulders forever.
