Seven Stages of ME
June 22nd, a Cancer, hazel eyes
Where gentle music lies
B-R-I-A-N-A
She's perfect they say
Days later, only two
A loving mother with no clue
Music soft, the crib, eyes closed
Mother, daughter, a fall breeze blows
Soon, a man, a ring, a dad
A new life doesn't seem so bad
He laughs, the park, they're no longer alone
He cares for her just like his own
Later, marriage, new home, a baby
A-M-A-N-D-A
Stubborn and hearty they say
Briana loves her, jealous to the core
No longer just two or three, now four
Middle school, awkward, boy in a hood
She hears that he is just no good
No attention paid
Her decision has been made
High school, music, choir, song
What she's been waiting for for so long
A life without his drama, pain
Stress free, she's done with his game
Never true to his word
Lies that make my stomach curd
A father he was never
Her pride he tried to sever
He fails, she wins, a young woman now
Boy in the hood, handsome and tall
Seniors, kissing in the hall
Young love, stupid and crazy
It all makes school a bit too hazy
A package, an email, acceptance letter
Her life can't get any better
Smiles, tears, hopes and dreams
They strive to be kings and queens
College, auditions
Bri is on a mission
To fulfill a life of music and passion
Going to class in a timely fashion
So, where to now?
An angel of music, she sings
Tears in her eyes, as her voice rings
Her mother, the joy she brings
On the marquise one hot June day B-R-I-A-N-A
