Brown hair
Thick brows
Strong shoulders
Skin which only has three shades,
Burnt, freckled or white,
No compromises
Blue eyes
Which have been called mesmerizing
By a foreign love
The English language
A race and a gender
Privilege
A history of premature deaths
A fear of loss
An insight into loneliness
