Im Not Like You

Finding myself

So I moved back to Dallas when the semester ended, but this time they had moved to some more apartments in Oak Cliff off of Marsalis. They were okay apartments but a little rough in ways. A little drama here and there with the other neighbors but the neighborhood its else was dangerous. The summer alone bout 7 people got killed by our apartments. Thesummer was cool a little boring but my daddy, Trish and I were all getting alone. School started, I so excited to see everybody again and to see what they did while I was gone. It was a couple of months into school everything was good with us until one day on our way home from picking me up from school. He got into it with somebody on the the road for trying to pass him. He rolled down the window and to the man wassup and to pull on the side of the road. Daddy pull off the road down the street from the some other apartment buildings and got out the car. The man he was arguing with pulled in the the apartments but drove off when they seen daddy running behind them it a ranch in his hand and a gun in his built over his shirt. That's the day we found out my daddy was nuts and he had a very serious problem and he needed help! The morning I woke up and heard my daddy talking about Trish's brothers, andhow they all are scary because if one get in a fight they all gone jump that person. And Trish said how are they scary if one brother fight of course they all gone fight. He walked out the house to worm up the car and I guess he heard Trish tell me what they was talking about. We walked out of the house together just like we did every morning, and as soon as we get in to car he start going off on us talking about how my mama didn't raise me right, how I wasn't never be anything life but a bomb ass bitch on the street. I said okay what are you, you ain't got no job you sit under Trish all day everyday using up here money. He told me that if I keep on he was gone send me back to East Texas. I said so and he pulled to car over and got out the car and opened my door so I get out too. He stepped back and said you got some you need to get off your chest boy . I said I said everything I had to say in the car but if you ain't hear me ill say it again. He looked at me like he was going to hit me so I looked back him the same way. He told me to get back in the car, and dropped me off at school.
When I got out the car and they left I broke down crying my good friends Deja, Tasia and Keke were there checking on me and seeing if i was okay. I called my cousins and told them what happened and as soon as I told them they said they would be on their way to Dallas to come get me. I told everyone goodbye they all were so sad to see me leave but they knew it was for the best. After school at 4:15 Trish and daddy came to pick me up. He was still talking shit when i got in the car and id it wasn't for my cousins tell me not to say anything else to him we probably would have fought in the car. We got back to the house and i started packing my things and around 9:00 they came and got me. From that day until now i made another promise, and that promise was to never become a low life, Angry, bomb ass nigga like my daddy.
