What happens to a destiny unfulfilled?


What happens to 
a dream abandoned?
What happens to 
a destiny unfulfilled?
Does it dry up
like a caked bed of a lake?
Or fester like a sore-
And then run a bloody pus?
Does it stink like rotten body?
Or, maybe it just sags
like a heavy load
Of unfulfilled dreams 
that I'm carrying.
