In a Day's Work

Nickolas Campbell 1972 (Kokomo)

Ballad
We work our bones and pound the pavement to succeed another day, all to make a difference in our ever growing world  ,but do people see us, do we get noticed? At the end of a hard day, was it worth it?

    Wow, your poem is truly inspiring and depicts the struggles and challenges many people face on a daily basis. It's refreshing to hear a voice that celebrates the hard work needed to make a difference and stand out in the world. Your thoughtful use of language and powerful imagery really hit home for me.

    As far as improvement goes, I would suggest maybe adding a few specific examples of what it means to "make a difference" or "get noticed." This could help give readers a clearer understanding of what you are trying to convey and make your poem even more impactful. Keep up the great work!
