The poem revolves around the themes of denial and racism. The poet talks about the dreams and ambitions that African Americans have. These dreams are never realized because of the racial discrimination they have to face. They are denied these dreams because of the color of their skin. The society practices racism and builds walls around the African Americans which stops them from achieving their dreams. The walls of fear, racism and inequality stopped the poet from ever realizing his dreams.
