Halsey Is Now a New York Times Best-Selling Author: 'I Am Kind of in Shock'

She continues, "The tiny girl who learned all her life lessons in novels, propped up on her elbows with a flashlight at night, thanks you. The teenager distracted through all her high school classes, writing short stories about great loves and world adventures, thanks you. The 20 year old huddled over her phone in her notes app, crying silently through a moment of weakness on the 200th airplane that year, thanks you. 26 year old me who has often seen my art populate because of a pretty outfit or a dating rumor, thanks you."

Just like how Halsey's fans have been exposed to her ultra-vulnerable and confessional lyricism, I Would Leave Me If I Could: A Collection of Poetry takes readers through the highs and lows of her failed relationships, family ties, sexuality and bipolar disorder.

"This is faceless. I am not sexy, or loud, or charismatic for this art. I am sad, and frustrated with myself, and trying to decide which memories scald me the least to touch. Or perhaps which ones do the most. This is for you to find yourself in," her lengthy tribute concluded. "I hope in your loneliness or sorrow you find a mirror in here. I hope you find a loving embrace. And if you don’t, I hope you at least think the cover looks pretty cool. Love always, Ash."
