You wish to burn alive 
in the flame of a love unrequited.
It's simple.
Write.

Sooo, let's say this is maybe an actual 3.5, since that's more representative of the percentage of poems I liked, but I rounded it up to a 4, because:

•  I'm a nice person 

and 

• you know what, I'm not at all ashamed to say that I had a great time with this poetry collection! 

I found many lyrics relatable and touching and the ones I couldn't relate to 100% were conveying very important experiences and it's chilling to think that some of them are autobiographical. I actually found some parts to be very well crafted and poetically powerful and some of them really moved me and made me appreciate her writing! What I loved most was how honest, spontaneous and heartfelt I found all of it to be. It feels like this woman wears her heart on her sleeve and it's nice to get that from "celebrities" - what I mean is, I guess, that reading her poetry you get that she feels deeply and expresses herself honestly and I loved to see that!
A big part of the poems read a bit too much like songs for my taste as if she couldn't release all of them as songs and put them into this poetry collection instead!
Overall a very pleasant reading experience, with quite a few lyrics that I appreciated a lot!

Has my heart,
once so full of love,
finally drained itself like a yellow raisin?
Will the children begin to notice?

There are a handful of beautiful poems there, yes. But most of them read like song lyrics. Halsey is definitely an amazing songwriter and maybe it was just a hit and a miss this time. It feels like an unedited version- wasted potential, for sure.
