I feel unsafe alone at night,
and when I am the only woman a room of men.
It's a creeping fear that may not always be right,
but its instilled in womankind again and again.
When can we teach our daughters to live carefree?
To not be afraid of simply being born
into a world where a woman is a dangerous thing to be?
