Thank you for this beautiful poem. I've been diagnosed with clinical depression and the last couple of weeks I have felt going deeper and deeper down. I never believed I was able to hurt myself until it actually happened. It truly describes that, depression is a fire indeed. I wish more people could acknowledge it.

Wow.... Really, wow. i suffer from depression and I keep telling people that depression is NOT a state of mind one can "snap" out of; it IS an illness. But to hear those last words from Taylor Mali. those are words i would love to have heard from my friends/family. you can NEVER understand untill you live it(and i pray you never will) but, this poem just about sums it up when people ask me: Well whattya want me to do? whattya want me to say? answer: what Taylor mali said" :P

depression is a sickness but people with depression don't usually mope around and cry, people who suffer from depression actually may be the most energetic kid at your school. its not visual...

This is so fantastic. I've listened to it five times today, along with much of your other work. It helps remind me that I need to stay here so no one is left in my wake, wondering if they could have put out the fire.

I have dysthymia, a type of chronic depression. Videos like this, that show that at least one more person will not dismiss or trivialize my illness, make me glad that I decided to live.

For everybody wondering, his wife committed suicide by jumping out of a window. that's what he means im guessing. like how someone would rather jump out of a building than burn to death. depression is like burning to death, just slower.

I think it's interesting what he says about depression being a kind of fire, because David Foster Wallace, in his novel Infinite Jest, said something very similar. He was actually talking about suicide and how it can be very much like being stuck in a burning building and deciding to jump, knowing that you're going to die anyway. It isn't that you want to die, but that you're absolutely terrified about what's going to happen if you stay in that burning building. Depression is very similar.
