Barbara Danielle Smith Poems

Another month makes me die, am I in your dreams tonight?
Another year has come, my mind soars.

Joy is like a rainbow
It causes a smile
That last for a while
It has many colors to show

You never seem to acknowledge me.
You never seem to hear my screams.
You never seem to notice my tears,
Yet you expect me to notice yours.
