I've been a poet for quite some time now, and I've also written many books, and no, I don't think I'm depressed in any way, that poem I asked to be commented? So what? It doesn't mean I'm depressed, all of a sudden someone thinks "Oh god, he needs professional help!" Well listen here, I don't need help, I'm perfectly happy with myself, I don't feel depressed, sure, I've been picked on and bullied for many years, does that mean I'm depressed? I don't think so. I'm sure you're concerned but you shouldn't be. Now if I wrote something like "OK, I'm gonna kill myself" Then you'd have something to be concerned about. But you don't I'm not depressed. I just write poems, THIS, is just my style of poetry. If it seems like I'm gonna hurt myself, well, I'm not, I feel completely sane... So next time I write a poem, please don't think something along the lines of "he needs professional help." I can take critisim, but saying stuff like I'm utterly depressed when I'm not I don't like.

The reason people jump to conclusions is that they are too lazy to think things through thoroughly. Everyone seems to want life explained in a neat little package tied up permanently with a bow on it. When they have a problem facing them or question they look for obvious explanations and connections and when they find one immediately assume (eureka!) that is the answer or explanation (they tie the bow). Whereas they should consider a variety of explanations and connections and weigh them all carefully before reaching a logical conclusion
That's my opinion, good luck as a poet, good health, peace and love!

You asked for feedback. You got it. It is as simple as that.
Your response to feedback speaks volumes, kid. If you're not ready for feedback (regardless of what that feedback may entail), don't ask for it.
Drop it.
