- I've been feeling kind of down lately and I came home after a shift one night and ended up writing this in about 30 minutes. It may not be my best poem to date but I feel like it's my most honest, it pretty much sums up what goes on in my head.

Lyrics
Life gets so hard sometimes
There are days where I wake up and I don’t like what I see,
and it’s not cos I think I’m fat or ugly it’s more than that
it’s as if I don’t even like being me
I get so frustrated at myself that I take it out on others
and then when I think about what I’ve done, I feel so guilty
because I know deep down that that person isn’t me
I look at how I’ve been living life lately and I haven’t accomplished any of the things that I’ve wanted,
all i seem to do these days is work and sleep, the same exact thing every single week
I try to be positive and keep it together,
but man I am struggling
It’s just feels so hard to be happy lately
I mean I haven’t uploaded as many videos because I just don’t have the time,
and when I do I feel so tired and exhausted cos I’ve been working crazy shifts every night
and I worry that soon enough I’ll lose confidence and give up completely
settle for something average and become the person I never wanted to be
Even as I’m saying this all I keep thinking is god I sound so depressing
and soon enough people will get bored and eventually you’ll leave
and so I have to force every bit of my energy in to be super enthusiastic and happy
when that is so far from the reality
The other night I came home from work and I just completely broke down - Just crying by myself alone in my room at 6am
but I woke up the next day and carried on living life as if everything was fine
in the denial that if I keep repressing these thoughts, somehow it’ll get easier in time
It won’t.
It’s sad cos all people see is what I show them on the outside, they have no idea about all the hurt and pain I hide
how I cried myself to sleep last night or the fact that I’ve been avoiding skyping my best friend,
cos I don’t want to show her this side
the side where I just can’t keep it together and the most fucked up part
is that I have no idea why?
I feel both overwhelmed and empty all at the same time
See where I live people don’t go on to do great things,
they stay in the same place they grew up and have kids,
and then they grow up and do the same exact thing,
it’s just an endless cycle and before you know it you’re tied down with commitments and responsibilities.
No one around here makes their dreams a reality, they just sit on it and come up with a million excuses,
how life isn’t fair or how they were never given the opportunity.
And when you see that every single day, you become disheartened
you think that maybe your dreams are just that - they’re just dreams.
But it’s in that moment, when you’re most down that you need to keep on going.
I know it sounds cliche, but I think sometimes we need to be reminded that
it’s okay to not be okay
Our biggest problem as a society is that we just don’t communicate
We’d rather pretend everything’s fine and suffer silently
Come home after a tough day and break down when no one else is looking
we don’t even think about it anymore, it’s just become part of our daily routine
shut out the deepest parts of ourselves and put on our bravest faces
it’s the sad reality of modern society
If you’re going through a tough time right now and you are putting all of your energy into just getting through another day,
just know that I think that you are incredibly brave
cos I know how hard that shit is
We’ll be okay, in fact we’ll be fucking great
and one day we’ll look back on this time and be so proud of ourselves
thinking that we’re glad we went through the tough times cos it made us the person we are today.
"I feel both overwhelmed and empty at the same time..." This was most likely the best and most accurate line in the poem, for me anyway. I do feel overwhelmed, yet I still feel as though I'm missing something vital, a detail gone from my life.
Dear Taz,
Your words you have wrote have brought me and helped carry me through very rough times in my life. I am 15 years old. I have battled anxiety and depression my entire life. I have a disorder that makes me hungry and I eat, which makes me bigger. I get bullied to the point I am on a first name basis with my counselor because I've had so many panic attacks. I sit here in my room in tears feeling alone and worthless, but then I watch your videos and I realize I am not alone I have so many people there for me and they don't know how to help but they want to so bad. You are amazing and you have helped me so much.
thank you.
+Juliana Johnson Hi Juliana, I am genuinely so sorry to hear about what you've been through and I'm glad I am able to help in some way. I truly hope things get better for you and that you come out of all of this a much stronger person. Take care. x
Hi Juliana! I don't know you personally but I want you to know that you are important and that you are special. Please stay positive, love you dear. xoxo
hey , dear , I had always suffered the same
same j. I hope your okay and love yourself. even if I can't take my own advice yet I hope you try. you deserve to be happy and feel relaxed even if its nearly impossible worrying constantly.
Juliana Johnson I can relate to you so much
Thank you for putting into words what I feel everyday and for letting me know that I am not alone.
thankyou
Yes, she finally put my thoughts into words.
Ur never alone be strong
Hey,Sri Lankan?
how are you?
I don't know how I found this. But I swear to God, I'm going through the exact same thing. Not even an inch differs.
This may be just another comment to you, but I just wanted to say Thank you. For writing this, for sharing this.
Thank you.
Ikr!
"I feel both overwhelmed and empty all at the same time" i say those words literally all the time.
that was beautiful and got me crying by the end.
sadly, or maybe fortunately, this was all so relatable.
keep doing what you're doing
You're so talented. You need more subscribers.😩❤️
Happy New Year! Just happy looking at where she is now :)
Ooh happy New year I'm 2020 didn't go as planned but oh well and I hope she gets 2 mil
"I feel overwhelmed and empty at the same time" is such a beautifully true line. This was an amazing poem.
Just binged watched basically all of your videos! I love them all, so truthful and inspiring. Really getting the message across, please continue to upload these Xx
I can not tell you how much your videos and words mean to me. I have only just found your videos, less than an hour ago actually, and it's almost 2 am and I'm sitting in my room just crying in the dark. You described it perfectly when you said that you feel so empty and yet so overwhelmed. I can't tell you how much it means to have someone to let me know that I am not alone in how I feel. So afraid of following suit with society and continuing the cycle of normality with seemingly no chance of greatness. I am 14 and I am in the honors program with so many things that my parents expect me to do and things I want to do but I don't know how to escape. I don't know how to accomplish all the things I want and please my parents and be an example since I am the oldest of four. I don't know how to deal with all the emptiness and fear. I don't let anyone see my pain and put on a smile and am so kind and generous to others and I just try to get through life day by excruciating day. Thank you for letting me feel like I am not alone like I can survive and like I can do this. So thank you for helping me push through and telling me it's okay to be human and not be perfect.
This is so beautiful. I've felt like you do before, but in different situations. Where everyday was a battle and I lost so much self confidence due to chronic panic attacks and anxiety. and like you said, I would never be the person I am today unless I experienced that. Now I see everything in a different perspective, I'm grateful for so much and I'm always willing to help someone through bad times, because fighting it is so worth it, and I wouldn't want to see anyone give up when there's so many beautiful things in life, great things that are just around the corner. Something that changed my perspective in a huge way was the quote 'There is someone, somewhere, with has far less than you, and they are happy'. I've watched your videos for so long now and I'd just like to say, your work is so unique and original, and just know that you do have talent and that you are worthy!
+Pastel Maisie Thank you so much for commenting this :)x
+ClickForTaz you made me cry😢
Please can you help me 😶
+Oruna Begum help you with what ?x
+Pastel Maisie I just feel so alone in this journey and I'm frustrated and anxiety and depression basically
I just wanna say you're such a beautiful person inside and out & hope you have a fantastic day (:
+Lizeth Flores thanks Lizeth, you too! :)
Dear Taz,
I'm only in high-school but am bullied for being myself. Everyday I go through the same pain..
Fake smile, say I'm okay, go Home, go to my room.. Break down.
This inspired me not to end it here.. Not to say goodbye.
But to be myself and not give a care what they think. He thinks. She thinks..
So thanks so much Taz..

Hey, It's been 3 years and I know I'm late. But I just wanted to know are you okay? I don't know you. But are you okay?
At a horrible low point. I don’t know how to be happy anymore, I don’t know what it felt like to be happy. I don’t know how to save myself. I wish someone would save me, or tell me how to save myself. I’m embarrassed by my depression. After watching this video, I just want to give you a hug. Because I never knew other people went through the same thing.
You are the reason why I keep going on. Your words are the reason why I feel like it WILL get better. Everyday I drag myself out of bed to go to the hell I call 'school'. I wish I could go to school for one day and actually be happy. To actually have a real smile. But I can't because all I can think about are the places I'd rather be in that moment. I had to move countless amount of times because of my military parents that I just stopped making real connections with my 'friends'. To many people, I have everything. I have friends, family, good grades, perfect smile, etc. but that's not what I see. I feel like none of it is enough.
Selfish, I know, but I can't help it. I don't know if I have anxiety, but I've been experiencing all of the symptoms. I just want someone to walk up to me and say, "I understand. I know what it feels like, so talk to me. I won't judge you." That's all I want.
My grades have gone down, I'm loosing touch with all of my friends, and I can't even trust my family to talk to. They won't understand. They'll judge me and tell me, "You're too young to feel this way."
Like you said in one of your videos, I put all of my energy into being okay, but it seems like it's only making it worse.
That's why I love your videos. It feels like I have someone to talk to without them judging me. Someone who's experienced it and won't tell me that once you get older, it will go away. Because it won't.
Feeling like this isn't a choice, no matter how many people tell me it is. It consumes you inside and no matter how hard you try, happiness just doesn't come as easily.
I put all of my emotions aside when other people around, but late at night, it all comes out in quiet sobs. I try to feel better, I really do, but I can't. My heart feels heavy and everyday feels like a task rather than a choice. I won't end my life because there are people that care about me, but it feels like it's not worth living. It's not worth trying because it won't work. Sometimes I just feel like screaming all my frustration out.
On the outside, I'm a role model. I'm the definition of optimistic and happy. My friends look up to me and ask how I do it. I just always laugh and say, "Trust me, you don't even know the half of it."
But on the inside, I'm scared. I'm so scared. I'm scared that I'll do something to hurt myself because it'll all get to be too much.
But even though I feel this way, I know it WILL get better. I know that even though I'm scared of what the future holds, I will make it through. Because God will guide me through it.
God throws hills, rivers, and other obstacles at you not for fun, but to prepare you for the mountain that's awaiting you at the end of all of this. All of the hurt and pain the obstacles have brought you, will be nothing compared to the mountain. But you'll be prepared, because you have God to help you get through it. Just don't give up.
I don't think I have ever commented on RUclips in over 10 years I've had it. I just wanted to say that you are bloody brilliant and you seem to resonate with everything I think and feel about myself. I somehow have achieved great success in my life, but still never feel good enough.
Sometimes in life you need someone else to say, "do you know what, you're doing great" and you did that for me today... All I can say it keep going and keep being you, because you rock!!
"one day we’ll look back on this time and be so proud of ourselves " I'm watching this today, I've been in therapy for a month now, just started, and that's the best decision I could make for myself. It's hard, it'll be harder, but it's worth it. Thank you Taz for always being honest and never sugarcoating depression, anxiety and not feeling good enough in general.
I have watched all of your poetry videos and I'm sobbing at 2am
I really wanna meet Taz one day.
She is such an amazing soul.
One of a kind.
I've been binge watching her and I've realised she's really come a long way.
2020 Taz makes us so happy.
2015 Taz just made me cry.
Love and Respect to Taz ❤️
Totally agree, she is amazing and she actually inspired us to start our RUclips channel last month! Hope one day to collab with her hehe!! We also write spoken word poetry at times but our channel's mission is to make self-improvement fun and push people to prioritise their happiness, would love for you to check it out 💛
I try to reach out to people constantly, but nobody understands me.
Nobody knows how to make me feel better.
I'm crying and they just sit there not knowing what to do.
Nobody has the answers to why I'm dying though everything around me is normal. I have normal friends, normal family, normal economics, normal school, normal hobbies and just a normal life.
Nothing is wrong.
Yet everything is wrong, all at once.
I try to tell people that I'm not okay, I need help, I am so fragile and I am on the edge of bursting every minute of every day.
They just tell me they cannot help me, I'm hopeless, they're not doctors and they have no idea what to do.
They call me picky because all the help they give me isn't working.
I can't help it. I can't do anything besides listening to you telling me there's nothing you can do. Telling me it's like this for everybody.
Well I think, and I really hope that pure people don't feel like life isn't worth it.
The pure, the healthy and normal people that can just go home to a friend spontaneously after school.
Or stay out way past bed time when it's dark outside.
People who doesn't count every foot step in the stairs, doesn't feel the need to have everything on your desk lying in exact straight lines and sorted by color or first letter in their name in different languages.
People who doesn't worry to much, people who feel happy sometimes and sad sometimes but they always have that curve, ups and downs.
People who doesn't live with an illness. A sickness.
I wish I could be cured.
Ps. I sent this video, along with your depression and your anxiety video to my mom. She tries her best to understand and you could explain in a way I never seemed to find the words to be able to do. Thank you. Thank you so much, really.
*hugs*
*hugs back* *smooch*
*Hugs*
Ta
You just have not found the right people to help and understand you; remember, you are not on your own and there is someone, who cares about you/understands you, whom you probably don't know yet. Please don't lose hope; you know yourself better than anyone else.
I feel that way every day, every fucking day
Firdaouss Xxx I'm here for you 💗
Firdaouss Xxx we're all here for you.❤
My brother passed a few months back and it was the most heartbreaking moment of my life. I see myself changing. My grades got worse, i skipped school and i hated waking up. I hated everything. Your poems makes me feel alive and makes me want to keep going. Thank you so much, you may not know this but this means the world to me and i want you to know that i genuinely really appreciate this. Thank you soso much 💛
that's a really important message and it's really uplifting to hear about someone with the same types of problems and insecurities and then just hearing how hopeful you can be.. even if you aren't hopeful sometimes, you're amazing for everything you do
I've been following you for more than a year ig already, and this is the first time I watched your series of spoken poetry, this one particularly is actually one of my favorite, it feels so empathetic and I relate to it so much, I usually make poetry and writings like this on my notepad ever since i cant even remember when, but it's the first time I heard someone connected soul to soul, your words are so pretty. This give me so much energy and inspiration to do better once more.
I can't stop listening your spoken words. I play it over and over again until I bring myself to sleep...thank you just being you.
I don’t know why but ‘it’s ok not to be ok’ makes me so emotional because I have to tell that to myself every single night whilst I cry myself to sleep
this. this hit me really hard. I always cry when she says the we have to keep on going. thank you. you're the first and only person to ever tell me that its okay not to be ok. I can't thank you enough for that.
4 people are not okay--- but it's ok we're here for you
I just found this channel & I can already tell I love her ,she is like my new queen ,I can relate to her.
you've got a sub taz
She is so precious her heart is just filled with kindness and I feel like I can relate to her on a high level we need to protect people like her
Im 11 and i cut and cry and breakdown because i am human but no one seems to understand that, but when i found this channel someone could finally understand. She understands what a billion of us feel and puts it into words and i just can't describe how amazing that is
I have no words to describe how you made me feel while listening to this. I relate to lots of things, like when we all are sad we keep things to ourselves and suffer silently. But it's okay not to be okay just as you said, it's fucking okay, because that means you're feeling and you're alive. thank you for transmitting so much through your words.
Dear Taz,
your words are words ar similar to what i tell so many people. the saddest thing about feelings deep down, is that face them alone. i have taken up a challenge in life, and i don't know if it will be a success or failure, but it is what i want t do... so even its its just a year, or even just 10 years.... i want to be able to say i lived. keep on with your poetry, we that suffer in silence draws comfort knowing, we are not the only one's who feels this way.
keep on keeping on.... YOUR AMAZING. It is quoted "that if you not making someone else life better, you wasting your time.... and TAZ YOU MAKING A DIFFERENCE FOR THE BETTER IN THE LIVES OUR MILLIONS OF SILENT SUFFERERS .
You are my inspiration. My hero. I've always wanted to be a poet, start RUclips. I write and play piano and I have always wanted to tour around the world and sing to others. I hoped to discover myself and show it to others. Listening to you.. I realize that one day. Soon, I will. I may not be immediately anywhere but I will make someone out of myself, and thanks to your words, you have given me motivation to continue. Thank you. So much.
Strange to think that this was written 5 years ago....its so relevant to so many more people in this pandemic. Beautifully written and just when i was struggling to see some light at the end of the tunnel i stumble across this video whilst randomly on youtube....beautiful words so well delivered.
I've watched about 4 of your videos in a row and cried my eyes out. I write poetry myself, but I could never write about my depression. The words get stuck somewhere between my throat and my shaking hands and I just can't let them out. Thank you for the things you write. it means so much to me. As sad as I am that you're going through this cause I understand how painful depression is, it still feels better to know that someone else feels the way I feel and is able to say the words I can't. Although, it is disappointing and disheartening that "family and friends" just don't get it. From the bottom of my heart, thank you.
I came from an abusive household and I was just diagnosed with ptsd. your videos explain everything I don't know how to put into words. you are my inspiration. I love you so much. 😭😭❤❤❤❤
I have no idea how I came across your channel, but I'm so glad I did. Thank you for this, thank you for all of it. Thanking you for putting yourself out there. For being vulnerable. For showing so many people it's gona be okay cause sometimes people need to be reminded. I've been battling depression for a year and a half now, and it's getting worse now. You're poetry is keeping my head up. I can't express right now how thankful I am for you, but what I can say is you've helped me learn life is worth living. Thank you so fucking much.
i am so extremely happy to have found your channel,I have dellt with depression and am still depressed, I've wanted to spread the word, about my depression but never got to it,bc i thought ,id be judged and hated but you showed me and inspired me to,so i will make a video about my story thanks to you,you are super talented and you've made me see differently,just from watching your videos it helped,its helped me love and except myself just a little bit more and i thank you soo much for that. i can't even explain how meaningful your videos are and how much they mean to me. I'm dealing with a lot and have felt with a lot and i wish i would have found your channel sooner. you are and will always be my inspiration for me being able to tell my story. your beautiful just the way you are and so unique and talented. you have something to say and you said it.your an inspiration to not only me but many ppl.and i just want you to know,i love you and your an amazing person inside and out
Over the years i have been really sad and i have felt like im never good enough for anyone. Im just now finding your videos and im in love. they have helped me to realize that i am beautiful just the way i am, and i dont need to impress any one. i am me and that is amazing. so thank you for helping me realize this. this is exactly what i needed.
This one really touched me. All of your poems about depression have really touched me. But this one. Just more so. That feeling of exhaustion, and loneliness at night. For no reason. But when you said that I was brave I just started bawling in my bed. Because I've never thought of myself as brave. I have always picture myself as weak. And this... this is beautiful.
ur poems mean everything to me. they keep me going even on my worst days.
This hit me so so so so very hard. I'm crying and so emotional but. Thank you.
I cry on every video of spoken words poetry, the reason why is I relate to every single one of them. I've been told lately I don't look happy, all I say is I'm fine but deep down inside my heart, I want to yell out what I think. I want to tell the world what goes on in my mind through out the night and during the day. I can't though, I just don't know how to yet.
Your so pretty why would you see yourself horribly you are amazing taz! Don’t say that I love you I’ve been a fan for ever and now all this pain I’ve saw has just killed me I feel so sad for you and taz you need to listen your the best you make people smile everyday , your making people happy every day , EVERYDAY! You inspire me , I have depression and anxiety and this has just made me absolutely amazing thank you so much taz for being here 😭😭
I've always wanted to be a writer , to write the way you do , to be able to actually feel what they're saying to you . This made me cry, just you saying itd be okay , so thank you because I really needed it...
Taz, I can not express in words how much you and so many others here in the RUclips community have helped me. This video is something I can always come back to, and I just want to thank you for that.
Keeping it short&simple,
Love Grace
Dear Taz... my mom always advised me to Love God and Love others. For it is in giving off ourselves to serve the less fortunate in society that we discover our own joy, happiness and purpose... we will thus have gratitude and thanksgiving to be alive, healthy, loved and blessed. Count your many blessings every day. Reach out to strangers with a kind word or deed and pay it forward. You'll be amazed at how happy you'll be by making OTHERS happy. It will boost your self worth, confidence and esteem too... God bless all of you!
I've been feeling really down today. This made me realize I'm not the only lonely soul out here. Thanks
First of all.. You are gorgeous! You really are. Your words are so wise and honest. Thank you for posting this and being so real. I'm sure many people can relate. I know I can. My heart just wants to say this. You're not alone. And there is someone who sees your work and sees your hurts he also sees your beauty and he loves you. He wants to help. He is a gentleman so he won't barge into your life or force you to do anything. But he stands at the door of your heart and knocks. He just wants to have a relationship with you. He wants to show you what he sees in you. He wants replace that hurt in your life with love and peace. I know because he did that for me and he won't ever stop. He loves us so much that was tortured and crucified on a cross to die for us knowing that we may never love him back. His name is Jesus. Because of Jesus, I can say I am truly loved. I didn't do anything to deserve it. And there's nothing I can or can't do to make him love me any less... or any more! He loves me unconditionally and he loves you too.
I've just found you, and you've put it all into words. Everything. You've told me in a new way, a believable way, that it will be okay, and I will be okay. That we will all be okay. So, thank you. For doing something I've failed to do, and everyone else has, too.
You put words in such amazing places that you make a difference in this world. I am watching this at 2 a.m. and I am crying. Because I feel exactly like this. People ask me why I am not that happy anymore and I cant answer them. Because even I dont know why I feel so empty. I say the same things everytime "Im tired" "Im okay" "nothing" but there is something and I cant explain it. People need to understand. Thank you for making such a beautiful video.
I am going through the struggle..and all I can say is Thank You,,thank you, thank you, thank you.thank you your words, your videos!
taz, this is so powerful and meaningful. It’s helped me a lot, thank you so much.
this is beyond amazing! I cryed. cause how much you showed me what I didn't even know I didn't know about myself. you showed me light. thank you!
You are an inspiration. Thank-you, I cried during this but i've realised there is hope in life, it helped me realise that i can get through this eventually.
I respect you on so many levels.
I have dealt with depression three years ago and now I usually have breakdowns and start to cry. idk why, there isn't a reason bc sometimes it suddenly happens while the day before I was okay and happy. You have just expressed what I feel in these moments 😢😭
You spoke my words❤️ I was crying at the end
I love your poetry and the emotion you put behind every word. Thank you for using your talent to help people understand what it is like to live everyday with this weight. It's not just a burden, it's a two ton cement block weighing people down who are too afraid to speak about it because of the stigma around depression, anxiety, etc. So, thank you. *applauds*
Thank you for this! Lately, I have been crying myself to sleep because I can't go to sleep! I try and try I cant get comfortable and there are bad thoughts in my head about making mistakes and not deserving these things I have because God knows I can be so rude. I used to think I was alone, but then I found your channel and watched these videos and learned that...no one is alone. Thank you! You made my week a lot better.
This and many other of your videos really help me out, and i just want to thank you for putting my and many others feelings into words, poems and art. Just know that your work is greatly appreciated.
Well I am sitting here bawling. This is exactly how I have been feeling. No one understands and when you try to explain it, it sounds like such a pity party. I’m glad to know I am not alone.
Taz, thank you... I relate to everything you say and these videos act as a way of release for the bottled up emotions inside of me, and I need that so bad. It isn't too late yet, I still have college to figure a lot of stuff out. I'll make sure I keep your words in mind though.
I know these are old videos but I want you to know your videos are helping me so much right now. Thank you for putting into words what is going thru my head.
Random person read my story about being depression and insecurity and she give me your videos.. I thank her to bring me here. You right it's more easy to pretend everything's okay than need to share it
Taz, I only found your page yesterday and am watching all your videos because every single one of them is lifting me up. I don't feel like waking up, I don't feel like smiling.. I don't feel me..
I stay in my room 24/7 and watch all your videos. I am trying.. thank you so much for opening up to me and everyone else. I truly love you and I would like to meet you one day... Thank you.💟
"you'll be okay" thats where i lost it
I loved this poem so much. I don't think there was any other source that could amplify my thoughts within as purely as you. Thank you for your amazing content, it truly does help me go through various shit in my life knowing that someone else understands me. Keep doing what you do
I love this. You take the words that I assume many of us have been feeling straight from our souls and feed it back to us in the most honest and beautifully raw way i have ever heard. Your words are beautiful and important and they matter. Thank you for bearing your soul to all of us. Maybe it will give us the courage to do the same. Much love to you.
Taz,
Thank you so much. I cry myself every night and I just don't know why I do it anymore. I searched up " I hate myself" and your video caught my attention. I have been watching all of your videos now and you are amazing. You are so relatable and you make me feel like I'm not the only one who's suffering. Thank you. I cried so much but it's s good cry. One of those cries you know ? I appreciate you so much. Thank you so much. Thank you thank you thank you ❤️❤️❤️❤️

I am so glad I found you today. Thank you so much for your amazing words, videos and vlogs. You are an inspiration. You're going to save lives.
Got goosebumps at the end of the video I can relate 🙁 we don't communicate coz most of the people don't care as they are not suffering it. You've got talent girl thank you for not making me feel that I'm alone.
Your voice is so refreshing and watching your videos makes me know that i am not alone. Thank you.
i cant stop watching your videos. you give me hope. you make me feel like i have someone. like im not alone
Taz, I agree with you so much. Following dreams can be hard, that inside there's a voice saying.. "What if? What if it's too late.." But it never is.. The answer is now. All that matters is that we are doing our best and pushing through to get through to the next day. Love that. You are honest, thoughtful, sincere, and so true to yourself! Keep it up. You put my feelings to words. That is true talent.
I find your words true, sincere and inspirational Taz, and I'm forever grateful because you made me realize that, I'm not alone, you're not alone & we're not alone. Thank you.
I feel you, keep going 💕 the fact that you're here sharing this with us makes you so strong.
Diving deep into the spoken word poetry playlist on your channel.
I haven't heard it before so clicked on one of your video with curiosity but can't resist myself from exploring your amazing works.. Would like to appreciate & thank you, keep going! I feel better now!
You are BEAUTIFUL Inside & Out. 🌻

I love you so much. I think you are incredible. Your videos are so relatable. Thank you for reminding me that I'm not alone. I am going through a really tough time at the moment and your videos are helping me explain to my parents what I'm going through. Thank you and stay strong :)

wow that's exactly how I feel, alone ever since I started high school, I use to have a best friend in about grade 4 then my sister didn't like that school so I had to go to a different school too, for grade 5 and 6 we still kept in touch and would sleep overs then all grade semester 2 of grade 6 and the holidays we didn't keep in touch then I came over to her place in grade 7( once we were at high school but I wasn't allowed a choice in the matter of what high school I went to so we went to different high schools) and realised how positive she was and how much she never had self hate or was never depressed. I told her about how with my new friends I was always a third wheel or the one nobody really liked, the one that was just there (and always called nice not pretty or smart or good at art) she said she was never like that, she was always the one in the middle of conversations, the one everyone liked and so I didn't tell her anymore about that sort of stuff 'cause i knew she would never understand it, next time I asked mum if I could come over to my best friends house she said I wasn't allowed to go over there anymore (which really shattered me because we had been friends for such a long time) but I couldn't beat both mum and dad in an argument so now I can't go over to her place and since i had been really quiet and shy all my life I don't know how to make friends and I'm awkward to talk to so I sit by myself on the bus and I have friends but they have known each other since primary school so I'm basically the one they all just call nice again I should think it's nice to say that compliment but I'm sick of the left out one who everyone just calls 'nice'. I hate it because I'll never find someone like my best friend again and now I'm so depressed, miserable and I'm always stressed and worried about school work at high school
Thank you. I needed this. I really did. Just know that what your doing serves a purpose and people are listening. Sending you positivity and love.

You said it what many of us won't say.one thing I love about this is I don't want to show them this side .This is a fab spoke word glad you spoke it out about us keep going

I got fairly down during lockdown so I was scrolling though Instagram and saw one of your poems so I decided to listen to your written poetry again. Thank you for this it helped a lot, it reminded me that I'm not alone 💕

stay brave, you are a hero for me
This really spoke to my soul. I'm not in a good place right now but this really reminded me of who I left behind... Me! Thank you.
Your such a beautiful soul!! I think everyone needs a Taz in their life x
plzzzz do a poem about Striving for Perfection in an Imperfect World
Taz, Thank you for your videos, they make me feel a lot less alone, I have depression, anxiety, ADD, and possibly epilepsy (my brother has epilepsy) I've grown up thinking it's not ok to feel sad or cry or just to not be ok in any way. My mom says when doctors say I have depression that I'm just like that because of my anxiety, that I don't have depression. She also wants us to match her expectations exactly, I'm nothing like what she thinks I am I try to be someone I'm not around her because my sister is biosexual, my mom wants me and my siblings to be straight though. She says my sister is making stupid choices and 'not n her right mind', I know my sister and she knows who she is. I want to ask her if she really knows me, but I know the answer. Your videos are like a life jacket, they keep me alive because they tell me that someone out there is going through what I'm going through. They keep my head up so I can breathe and I can live even though nobody comes to save me, even though I'm nowhere to be found or to be heard, when at the end of the day, because of you I realize, it's ok to be not ok.
"Come home after a tough day and break down when no one else is looking
we don’t even think about it anymore, it’s just become part of our daily routine
shut out the deepest parts of ourselves and put on our bravest faces
it’s the sad reality of modern society"
This made me tears.
