50 shades of hijab World Hijab Day 2 mins ago Poems

This, this is still my choice

I stick with it because it loudens my voice

It is a part of my faith but moslty

it is a part of my liberty

It doesnt fill up any of my ethnicity

I wear them in all the colours of the world

Showing off my opinion how I see this earth

Dont you dare to question my reasons

But rather accept them just like seasons

I can hear you all loud and clearly Im not deaf only to negative reactions

because I refuse to listen to those distractions

I am me

This hijab shall always be a part of my identity

whether you like it or would rather rip it off my head

Ill wear it anyway whenever I want even at night in bed

I have difficulties in life

just as any other person man, daughter, son or wife

My hijab isnt a problem hon

I got 99 names to call Him upon

It is an opportunity to come closer to Him, my God

It is a way of expressing my love I dont find that odd

if you been send out on a quest be patient and do your very best

and put your trust in Him whenever you get a test

This is the way I hope to free my soul of ego

I cover up to let the vanity of me go

I wear them in all patterns, colors, and fabrics

I wear them in all styles

Whether going out for dinner or sporting at aerobics

If you think Im being dumb, oppressed and thinking l dont have confidence

It tells more about your insecurity and your intelligence

I know Im being smart

I know what to do because Im following my heart

Happy world hijab day to all you ladies whether you wear it or not

Im not discriminating because you first should wear it in your heart

Dont forget it is a lifestyle and attitude

live your own life just as you would

like in times of low and altitude

Wear it classy and chique

Your covering so dont reveal too much and stay mystique

but dont forget you are always unique.

Lots of love,

Faylasoufia S.

the stereotypes aspects of being an Europian born Hijabi (which is very rare for a hijabi to be an actress)]
