Wrote this poem after receiving criticism for writing a poem about depression and suicidal thoughts. Yes, I understand these concepts are triggering for some. But for others (myself included), these thoughts and struggles are a regular part of our existence. Shall we hide them–pretend we are not this way–to make others comfortable?

All I desire
is the freedom
to draw my thoughts with letters.
Give me creative peace.
