I haveI have a gender. I was born a woman therefore I have fear. / I have fear. I am taught at a young age to fear the monsters that come out at night, on the street corners and in dark allies. / I have a particular monster. When I was 11 I was diagnosed with anxiety, a fire that becomes uncontrollable at times.
