Hijab Poem

Hijab Poem

Me,
Love,
Respect,
Sense of Self,
Covering my hair,
Showing Allah I care,
Protecting my modesty,
Exchanging lies for honesty,
Without Hijab, no one could tell,
Unprotected; without my Islamic shell,
Lies, as if to tell the world “Muslim, I am not”,
“I want to die with all of you and burn in Hell so hot”,
“Come men and talk with me, I am married but do not care”,
“I give you my permission to desire with your unbroken stare”,
“I want to show you what I have, make it look pretty for you to see”,
“I want you to desire and lust while other Hijab wearing woman envy me”,
But I chose to be honest letting the world to see, I am a Muslimah so happy,
Free from Satin’s enslavement, free for Jena ’s engagement, I am free!,

Allah’s blessings so gently bestowed upon my head, gently in deed,

Hugs from the cloth that covers me, Liberated from Satin’s greed,

I am a Muslimah, Shouting it out yet silently without a voice,

I am a Muslimah, I am a Muslimsha by my own choice,

No man owns me, no man controls me, I am free,

Allah owns me, Allah freed me to be me,

Allah loves me, I respect Allah,

Allah is my God, Oh Allah!

I am me, I am a Hijabi!

My Sense of Self,

My Respect,

Love,

Me!
