“A Story Like Mine” shares  Halsey ’s personal experiences with sexual assault  which include being assaulted as a child  accompanying her best friend to Planned Parenthood  being forced by a boyfriend to have sex  and performing after having a miscarriage.
 Halsey  also addresses how  she  believed  her  fame could protect  her  from being assaulted  but that  she  realizes “nobody is safe (as) long as  she  is alive.”

“And that’s why we’re here  and that’s why we rally ”  Halsey  read  “It’s Olympians and a medical resident and not one f---ng word from the man who is President.”
Although  Halsey ’s poem explores past traumas  “A Story Like Mine” ends on a hopeful note.
