You know, I have been asked why I write about sadder topics like depression, and I answered "because no one else would". Most of the poems I find online are based on sappy stuff like love, breakups, getting back up after breakups, and so on. I haven't found a lot of people writing about depression and suicide, as if they didn't exist. But they DO exist, in fact they're everywhere these days, i don't know if they don't notice or if they don't care enough to write about it. I write about people who are mocked for disadvantages, their skin color, being Les/Gay/Bi/Trans/Queer, being a girl and/or have depression. I find that a lot of people don't like to write about them, but I do because someone has to.
Pumpkin Interesting, and good to know.
GemHeart Cool! I have written ones about drugs and depression so you're not alone.
