What do u see when u look at me?

• What do you see when you look at me
• Do you see someone limited,
• or someone free?
• All some people can do is just look and stare
• Simply because they can't see my hair.
• Others think I am controlled and uneducated
• They think that I am limited and un-liberated.
• They are so thankful that they are not me
• Because they would like to remain 'free.'
• Well free isn't exactly the word I would've used
• Describing women who are cheated on and abused.
• They think that I do not have opinions or voice
• They think that being hooded isn't my choice.
• They think that the hood makes me look caged
• That my husband or dad are totally outraged.
• All they can do is look at me in fear
• And in my eye there is a tear.
• Not because I have been stared at or made fun of
• But because people are ignoring the One up Above.
• Maybe the guys won't think I am a cutie
• But at least I am filled with more inner beauty.
• Real men are able to appreciate my mind
• And aren't busy looking at my behind.
• Hooded girls are the ones really helping the muslim cause
• The role that we play definitely deserves applause.
• We have the strength to do what we think is right
• Even if it means putting up a life long fight.
• You see we are not controlled by a mini skirt and tight shirt
• We are given only respect, and never treated like dirt.
• So you see, we are the ones that are free and liberated
• We are not the ones that are sexually terrorized and violated.
• We are the ones that are free and pure
• We're free of STD's that have no cure.
• So when people ask you how you feel about the hood
• Just sum it up by saying 'Baby, its all good!' ;)

A girl named Nadia from Sweden once wrote this poem about girls wearing hijab (covring up their hair)...well it must be said that things are different around here, but still!!
