Reality

All you got to do is see

My hijab makes me free

I'm free like a bird

You just don't see

This is reality

No man opresses me

I'm free to be

I respect myself

This is reality

No strange man can see my beauty

Propaganda makes Muslim woman seem like dummies

We want to be seen for what is in our minds

This is reality

Hijab is nothing new

We cover ourselves like nuns do

But are labelled as outcasts

Why is this reality???

We refuse to be victims of the male

Pleasing fashion industry

I don't judge others then why do they judge me???

Why is this reality???

For those people who stare just become aware

I don't mind I will give you a smile in return

I am free

This is reality
