Like My Dad is a poem written by Ladarrius Appicelli. He is one of many young men who have written poems about their life and struggles in a book called "Honestly Speaking" - A Collection of Honest Young Thoughts from Honest Young Minds.

This is their second book, and it was released on February 24th, and they celebrated with a book release party at the new Solidarity Sunday's events created by rep. Angie Nixon.

The poems within the book are honest expressions of what our students face growing up in Duval County from foster care, neglect, doubt, love, family struggles- you will read about it all. The program directors hopes that the communities surrounding our students get a glimpse at what they face and in turn want to positively impact children facing similar circumstances.

Like My Dad.

I can't wait to get home because that's my throne

When nobody's there I am all alone

You already know that I'm in that poem

When I talk to my dad I watch my tone

When he gets old, he's not going to a retirement home

He's going to be with me as long as he is strong

But right now, he is as tough as stone

Some of my friends' dads are gone

Probably from a drug deal gone wrong

I talk to mine every day and not on the phone

Every time he drops his work to postpone

I learn from the examples that he has shown

My dream is to be like him when I'm grown

I put blood, sweat and tears in this poem

Written by Ladarrius Appicelli

"I thought the event was a great move to give back to the community and to give those who could afford anything that we were giving out to them the relief that no one is truly alone in whatever season they be going through."

Sponsors included Subliminal Dreamz Inc, which is a nonprofit organization that provides an holistic, comprehensive, and unique way of helping young men reach their full potential through exposure to different humanities, self-care, apprenticeships, and disciplined leadership that allows them to become eloquent leaders within themselves and the communities.
