sometimes i want to open my hijab...


Sometimes
i want to open my hijab
and show the world
that i too
am beautiful in people's definition

But
deep down here
in my little to wear ruffled dresses and tight jeans
show off what i really look like
under those baggy shirts and loosely fitted pants
make a statement
that i too
have a figure and worth looking at

But
i know better
to avoid entering world of men's imagination
for i love my future husband
and i am ashamed
what should be his,has already been unvieled by others

Sometimes
i want to show the world
the other side of me
the bubblier,bolder and crazier me
put myself on display
for everyone to see
to be desired and admired upon

But,
I know that eyes are not just eyes
seeing is not just seeing
image and respect gained
shame and humility deserve a better place

Because in the end
it is not just about me
I carry a lot of impressions and expectations
of what a
Muslim girl should be.

I am covered by the world 'Islam' the moment i walk out of my door
so don;t be selfish girl

Can't you put behind your heart's desire for something
worth fighting for?

Love is all it takes
Love..

InsyaAllah
