It was the fear of loosing
That clouded her mind
She really wanted
To be someone
To go beyond borders
To laugh carelessly
To love unconditionally
To cry emotionally
To crash completely
Then pick up her pieces
And redo herself
But all that
Was not possible
So much judgement around her
Very high expectations
Societal norms
That could not
Allow her to be her
Courage was never her thing
To stand up for herself
To prove all of them wrong
So she always hid behind books
Behind poems
And all they did
Was ask who's this Bella
She was anonymous
But her work was well renown
It was just another article
That popped up
In her fearful brain
And thought why not
Put it down on paper
