The central purpose of this poem is the idea that if you don't go after a dream, it will result in a negative end. The speaker gives many possible outcomes of various bad things that could happen if a dream is not pursued.
"What happens to a dream deferred?
Does it dry up
like a raisin in the sun?
Or fester like a sore-"
The results vary throughout the poem. The speaker's purpose is to persuade the reader to go after dreams. If they are avoided or neglected, nothing good can come from it.
