In this episode of poets&depression, I talk about the lies that we tell when say "I'm fine" or "I'm just tired." I also read my poem "Taking Space" and talk through it and how we lie to others and ourselves. And that it's okay to take space for yourself. Because it has to be okay.

Hi. I'm Jacob. I'm a poet and I have treatment-resistant depression. I recently started exploring how my depression affects my poetry and I decided to start talking about it. I'll also be talking to poets about how their mental health influences their art. At it's core, this podcast is about mental health and the relationship it has with art and writing.
