Improvised poem I just made!!

The dark

As a woman, they always thought us to be afraid of the dark

Not the absence of light but of what hides in there

The shadows in the streets late at night

That one weird family member that, even though they haven done anything bad, they warn you to be aware

The people that you meet in the corners of a room or the dark alleys

These are just a few common examples 

As a woman, I grew up afraid not of the absence of light but of what hides in the dark corner of my eye
