emotional reflective fast-paced

to my enemy:

how bravely you stood across from me
when you didn’t stand a chance 
we raised our swords defiantly
for our battle to commence.
I knew all of your weaknesses 
and defeated you with glee
but when you removed your helmet 
my reflection stared back at me.

I had to reread this immediately after finishing to really savor every bit. 

A stunning collection of poems✨

the way the author herself admitted to filling pages only because of a deadline.. probably should have saved some trees and not put this out to begin with.

not sorry bout it.

"I think you might be
the death of me.

And it's as if I'm running
at full speed
towards my grave."

“I will listen to the same sad songs
over
and over
and over again
til they vibrate in my skull
when the volume ceases.”


This is such an intimate and emotional collection of poems by Halsey. You could feel the hurt & pain as they bared their soul onto the pages. I hope they have it in them to write more poetry because they truly are gifted in the way of words.

”cages 
are 
still cages 
even 
when they’re 
designed
to 
look
just like 
castles.”

“when they drag you through hell,

       do not simply accept it.

             do not just give in.

 go on & reign over the very flames

     that were meant to be your end.

            wear them as a crown.”


 —show them who’s queen.
