What an inspiration...

The theme of the Poem, "Dreams Deferred" by Langston Hughes can be summed up in one sentece. Chase after your dreams, for if you don't they will haunt you infinitely. To me, the theme of the poem regarded the fact that one must chase after their dreams and aspirations, for if you don't the only one to blame is yourself. This poem could not be any more appropriate for me life right now. I hold many aspirations about what I want to do with my life; however, I am not always sure if they are attainable or not. After reading this poem, I have realized that I will never know until I go after them. Just like the African Americans of the Harlem Reniassance, I too must chase after my dreams, for you just never know what could come out of them. As I grow older, this will be my anthem as I go through the trials and tribulations I know are ahead of me.
