Does it dry up like a raisin in the sun?
It is so realistic that is what makes me jealous of this. It creates a visual image in my head and I really like that. I think that this is true also which makes me jealous of this. A dream that is deferred is as good as gone.

With your bitter, twisted lies,
You may trod me in the very dirt
But still, like dust, I'll rise
