Tyler did make it very clear that he isn’t always happy about how fans view him. He wrote online, “I’m not a real human being to some of these people. To them, I’m just a soulless vessel with no feelings & my only purpose for my existence is for their entertainment & judgement. But you know what? If that makes someone truly feel better & happier, then I’m happy to do it!”
He has been clear that he will continue posting his poetry and publicizing his mental health struggles as long as they help people. He wrote on Instagram that haters “will NEVER change the fact that it’s touching people’s hearts & that’s what truly matters anyway.”
In a new poem, Tyler recently opened up about what it is like to live with Bipolar disorder.

He shared:
“Bi Polar is like dancing on the edge of a cliff. The good moods are full of endless euphoric adrenaline, but the bad moods cause a reclusive crash with an abusive rift when there’s just too much emotions to go through & sift, which makes you trip down a long hard fall when you slip after you lose that grip once that adrenaline filled dance inevitably makes you tip.”
Tyler added in his caption, “I am not my diagnosis. I am in control of my perceptions and my reactions. #PoetryIsMyBrainsFreedom”
Given Tyler’s recent success with his clothing line, Tierra Reign, and his weight-loss journey, it seems that his strategies for coping with mental illness are serving him well.
