I think you are reading too much into what I am saying.

    it if you can trust that I'm an adult

I don't give a shit who you are.

    Society loves a poet driven to suicide, but who produced lovely poems for thousands. Do you want to be that poet?

I didn't say that because my views of you, or because I thought you are a child, I said that because it's a rhetorical tool. Making the statement that being great, being a hero, is something that society "glamorizes" at the expense of all those who become heroes. And that nobody should actually want to be a hero, even in the culture that emphasizes it, because it comes a personal harm.
