My name is Raven.  I'm a trans girl who lived in New Hampshire for most of my life.  I went to Catholic school for the majority of my school career until the schools started making rules that invalidate my identity.  I transferred to a public school and was immediately accepted for who I am.  In addition to writing poetry, I enjoy writing music.  I primarily play guitar.  I also play drums, piano, bass, and sing.  

This piece is about a time where I was dealing with suicidal thoughts.  I would often find myself unable to focus on school, while I would think of commiting suicide and the affect it would have on the people that I cared about.
