Because i cover

by sunnah   Jul 1, 2009


What do you see when you look at me?
Do you see someone limited or someone free?
All some people can do is look and stare?
Simply because they cant see my hair.
Others think i am "controlled" or uneducated,
they think i am limited or un-liberated.
Are they thankful that they are not me?
Because they think that their lives are free?
Well, free isn't exactly the word i would've used,
Describing women who are "cheated on and abused."
They think that being "covered" isn't my choice
They think that my scarf makes me look caged that my Husband or dad must be totally deranged.
All they do is look at me with fears
But if you look at me you will see my tears...
NOT because i have been stared at or made fun of
but because people are ignoring the "one" up above
on the day of judgment they will be the fools
because they were to embarrassed to live their lives by their own rules.
