Fear is in the shadows of night

Fear is a day without the light

Fear is the feeling of a manly leer

Twisting words as the draw you near

Fear is the feeling of leaving my home

Fearing the world when I am alone

Fear is the bringer of anxiety

Fear is the staple of a woman's reality

Fear is the product of being harassed

Fear comes in fast when a man doesn't ask

The feeling of fear is unconsensual

Brought on by men who think we're dispensable

Fear is the reality of a woman alone

And fear is why I'd rather stay home.
