WHO I AM

I am a girl
A little girl at that
Filled with innocence
As I watch other kids smile without hinderance
Let me also be free
With my hijab

I am a girl
Today I'm just a girl
Tomorrow I'd birth nations
And I'd tell the tales
Of how I rose to greater heights
With my hijab

I am a wife
Nurtured to be the best
In morals and thoughts
And with humility;
One that's all encompassing...even with my hijab

I am a wife
With responsibilities
To my husband
To my family
To my society
To be upright
Even with my hijab

I am a mother
A Muslim mother
Filled with love for all
I've been there before
Certain things come with choice
I choose to cover...even as a mother

I'm a mother
Who thinks of the nation
Even while in motion
Islam is my religion
And the right to cover is my option
I say no to all opposition.

I am who I am
Let me be what I want to be
Since you eat what you choose to eat
Then let me appear the way I choose to
And then I can be what I want to be...
....a covered pearl
....a precious stone
....a hijabi
