it means that you should kill yourself
like no really
i have done my research and i can tell you
that line means "suicide"
the poem itself might make you think its about dreams.
it is not.

Another way to interpret these lines from the poem, "A Dream Deferred" by Langston Hughes is to see it as imagery that emphasizes the hopelessness felt for this dream that is being pushed away.
A "festering sore" is a wound that is infected or just become downright offensive-looking/smelling. It has been left untreated, just like the dream has been left unattended to.
The part that says "and then run" could refer the pus or blood dripping from the wound, maybe like tears coming from the poor disheartened soul whose dream is being deferred. I am not entirely sure about this part, though.
