I fall slowly,
Into the fallen darkness.
Below where a few reach.
It is where the dark meets the reality.
It's soft, real.
It's hard, sorrowful.
Yet I dare to tell no one.
I feel loved, calm in my darkness.
No one to be judged by, 'cause they see nothing .
There's light even here, not everyone sees.
Seek it See it, the beauty of finding yourself.
To set yourself free from the darkness.

If You Love Me, You'll Do It
I met Jason when I was five years old. I could say that I loved him from the moment I saw him. He was so handsome to me and I felt in awe by his presence. When they introduced him as the new kid in school, I wanted to be his friend right away. I remember it like it was yesterday. I remember his smile and how he didn't seem shy. He appeared confident and ready to learn. I waved at him and said "hello," before anyone else could even say a word. He sat next to me, and I asked him if he wanted to be friends. He looked so happy as he said, "Yes!"

Whoa, this is deep! 🖤 It’s like stepping into someone’s soul and finding light where you least expect it. First-time jitters? Totally nailed it! Keep sharing; the world needs more raw beauty like this. Don’t stop now!🤗💖
Raihanna, you need to upload more! Please, your hands have a spark, don't lose it ❤
I must say continue writing, please! You wrote a wonderful piece, I swear 😃✨
Please keep sharing!
This was beautiful! Congratulations on taking this step to share your poems, I know how it feels. Please write and share more :)
Dear Ms. Rihanah: Glad you liked my 'Such a Deal'. Your Dad is a lot alike all us Dad's: If it ain't broken why fix-it. Proud the Salvation Army left me a comment and invited me to 'Do Lunch' with them. You are a lovely writer; see how far your pen can reach. * I've subscribed with pleasure to see what you may come up with next for the VillageBucket. I'm curious about you; there's nothing in your Bio: May I take a moment. I'm not a writer as you are. I'm just a retired legal professional; a simple StoryTeller to archive 'For the Kids Someday.' Not into contests or self promotion. I just enjoy doing my Silly Sketches to lead into my Shorts; nothing more. I will be following your offerings. Jk.in.l.a.

Please do not stop sharing your poems! I really resonated with this one.
Poetry lays us bare to the world. It's so much more personal than writing fiction. This is beautiful and relatable and so well done. Good for you for having the courage to hit that publish button, Raihana. Keep on doing it! 💕😊
I love this! 👏 Indeed one sometimes needs to retreat to find the light! Thanks for sharing your poem Raihana. 😊
