Tashi Coote Poems

depression is when you hate everyone around
depression is when you don't want to make a sound
depression is when all you want to do is cry
depression is when you feel like you’re dying inside
...

depression makes me feel pain
depression makes me stupid
depression makes me feel low
depression makes me mad
...

dear suicide
why are you still here?
i want you to leave,
leave me alone
...

after a while, you learn
the difference between
holding a hand an falling
in love. you begin to learn
...

life goes on
just another day
this is the sweetest suicide
blood pours out
...

depression is loving someone with nothing in return,
depression is slowly living instead of jumping head first,
depression is acknowledging the mistake but without learning,
depression is not trying, giving into your life's curse.
...

depression is my life without you,
depression is the darkness taking over the light,
depression is the thoughts of suicide
depression is isolation from the outside world
...

dear me, my self and i
me: why is it that no one understands?
my self: some people do understand
i: no they don’t, they have no idea how we fell
...

I’m an angel…
In combat boots,
Black wings,
A crooked halo.
...

Oh Lord, help me in my distress
Give me the strength to overcome
The sweat that troubles my life
I hope you open the doors for me
...
