Name Words

Feet pressed

Down 

Into the hard earth 

Back breaking

For my hard worth 

Taking

It day by day 

Counting 

The meager 

Blessings 

At these

Tired feet 

Do they 

Know me 

My work

My effort 

My name 

The answer

Is 

No 

One step behind

The main character

That's it 

Isn't it 

Always

The days 

Go by 

With equal parts 

Sweat and tears

Weeks and years 

And still 

I am 

A ghost

Expendable

At most 

And still I toil 

Yes sir

No sir

And when you 

Go sir, 

I'll be in here 

Building myself

By myself

By the grace 

Of God 

My energy

Doesn't end 

When the day does 

Cause when 

The day does come 

And it will 

I will 

Stand up 

Appearing

Even taller 

Than you recalled 

And I will walk 

Right 

Out 

And you won't 

Forget 

My Name
