I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry

by Halsey

I have found a home here amongst the chaos. The constant.

I couldn’t wait to join the rest of the world, and that is exactly the moment my enthusiasm ceased.

And it was on my first day on Earth that I realized I didn’t measure up, and I never would.

Been biting my tongue till it bleeds cry over things I don’t need. My mother told me pick your battles wisely but you made me angry at the world so I chose them all.

I’m sorry I’m having another bad day. My bones are creaking And my eyes leak Like a broken faucet.

I am not allowed to want to die anymore. Believe me, I have tried.

“Du er et minne.”
