Let Me Breathe

Only seventeen && I've been 
through hell
Like the time I met Kenny who got 
caught stealing from taco bell
Or Rashad who talked a lot && 
nearly drove me insane
Tim, Tom, Thomas couldn't even 
remember my damn name
Shawn was way down for peace
Charles was to possessive to kept
&& Devin only cared about weed
Troy had no heart and all game
Donald's crazy self thought I'll take 
him back like he changed -__-
Bobbys hobby was pure sex
&& the only time I seen Carter is 
when I had a check
Any regrets??
No, just another thing crossed off on 
my list of "what I look for best"
