“Or does it explode?”

            The last line in this poem states “Or does it explode?” this explains the last outcome that can happen when a dream is put aside. This line is represented by a fist punching through water as it highlights the theme of anger and violence. When something explodes is bursts violently as the combusted emotions developed can become uncontrollable in individuals causing people to turn to violent behaviour and attitudes. Failure becomes feared when dreams are unfulfilled and this can trigger violence and anger. The fist represents the dangerous outcome the pressure of accomplishing dreams can cause. The act of punching requires great strength and pressure and becomes a release for the build up of anger on has inside. The photo implies the power of anger and the possible self and physical destruction that can be an effect of the deferred dreams. The main focus of this poem is to express the negative emotions caused due to ignored dreams and this image expresses actions out of anger as it is associated with this feeling.
