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.

5 Inventions That Are Changing Lives Of The Poverty
We, most of us reading this are fortunate enough to have access to our basic needs but not all are so fortunate. The rural areas of developing countries and 3rd world countries are still struggling to meet their basic needs like access to safe drinking water, food, shelter or basic health care. However, in this modern century, well-established people from 1st and 2nd world countries are trying to help those in need, to improve the quality of lives of poverty. From scientists to ordinary, creative people, they are all using their field expertise to invent products to help those in poverty in whatever ways they can. Nowadays, even businesses and new organizations are popping up to solely help the ones in need or donate a percentage of their revenue to specific causes to help the ones in poverty.

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! 💕😊
