Hello

How are you?

Long time no see

I’ve been under the dirt

Under a tree

Now I’m on a park bench

as clear as can be

Somehow some way you should

Come visit me

**

Most people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the load I’ve been hauling

For years I’ve been crawling

Amidst feet that are falling

And I am never stalling

I’m an unsung hero

**

Do you want to come near so

You can hear me more clear? Yo

Please don’t fear tears though

I will not

fall through the cracks

I will make it back

If you just

cut me some slack

Build me up

Instead of burying me deep

You have skills enough

To be wary of a creep

*

And I am not that

Actually in fact

I am more than an insect

With the world on my back

**

Some people treat me like

an absolute zero

But with the weight I’ve been bearing

For years I’ve been caring

Amidst eyes that are staring

And they are never sharing

I’m an unsung hero

**

Can you please come near so

You can hear me more clear Yo

I don’t fear tears so

I’m not

Scared of their attack

I always watch my back

So why don’t you cut me some slack?

Build me up

Instead of squashing me flat

You have skills enough

To have time for a chat?
