The Men In My Life

When it comes to men, I don’t make good choices. My daddy wasn’t around and I 
lack a male influence, and my momma’s boyfriends, they couldn’t replace the 
feeling I have when I see my father.
When it comes to men, I don’t make good choices. Ex-boyfriends, most of them 
are crazy. Some has hit me, some treated me like a lady, some I wish I never 
met, and some I can’t forget. If I could do it again, I’ll keep it all the same.
When it comes to men, I did make some good choices. Javaris, Markeen, and 
Airrick have been there with me though thick and thin. Especially Markeen, he’s 
my baby. I hope they always stay around for me. I hope we are always friends.
When it comes to men, I have made the greatest choice ever. Tai’Yon, my son is 
always going to be with me. Without this guy I would be a hot mess. Now that 
he’s in my life, I have something worth living for. And to have a better life for him.
