Her love for literature was birthed as early as eleven years old when she found herself penning short stories as a way of passing time on her parents' hobby farm in the picturesque Perth Hills. However as she matured into a teenager and her exposure to the outside world grew Isabella's writing fast evolved into a means of articulating various traumas she could never bring herself to speak of. Now having finally reached adulthood Isabella has decided to share the poems that documented the darkest period of her life with the world.</p></span></p><p><span style=background-color: rgba(255 255 255 1); color: rgba(0 0 0 1)><p>Find Isabella Jacqueline on Instagram: @isabellajacquelineofficial</p></span></p>
