Cheree Scott Poet Ballad

Graduation

As I walk this road
Down campus life
In perpetual mode 
Will I be a wife?

Bitter roads ahead
Made of highs and lows
Hanging out with friends
Throwing little blasted blows

Dare I write a book
or graduate 
Give me credit here
In my gleaning state

Don't let this mind die
In a cold dark room
Quiet the impatience
Of my glorious doom

Give me cheers not jeers
Clapping hands all day
Sewing in tears
Is the price one pays

Beneath the black caps
Flooding from the sky
Sitting to and fro 
Do I dare not sigh

Had I not fought hard 
Through those bleakful days
I'd have sunk beneath the heads
In the Spring of May
