"Daddy can I have some of what you drinking"
"No" he spat
"Why?"
"'Cause you only a child "
"How about when I'm old? Like you"
"Why you ask so many damn questions?" He yelled in my face "When is you momma gone come and get you? You get on my damn nerves" he took a puff of his weed and blew it in my face, it had a foul oder
"I'm sorry daddy" I looked at my hands "I just wanna be like you when I get older"
"Why?"
"'Cause I just love you so much" I smiled
He laughed "I love you to baby girl, hmm, come here" I walked over to him and he picked me up and put me on his lap "I don't ever want you to be like me, I'm a terrible person, that why yo mama left me"
"I would never leave you" I kissed him on the cheek, he chuckled
"Here you wanna try?" He said handing me the bottle, I tried it. It burned my throat, it was spicy. I coughed, and he laughed "Nasty huh?" I nodded, he kissed my forehead. I laid on his chest.

Days aren't always like this, sometimes he's mean and he hits me, pushes me to the ground. And sometimes he has people come over, and they put fire to these long sticks and smoke comes out, it makes me cough, sometimes I have to stay outside so I can breath.
