Look into my eyes
My feelings,
My honesty.
What do you see?
Depression?
Misery?
Someone cadged?
Trapped?

Look at my mind
My education,
My thoughts.
What do you see?
Brainwashing?
A Retard?
Someone Dumb?
Stupid?

Look at my family
My Father,
My brothers.
What do you see?
Oppression?
Harshness?
Someone forced?
Imposed upon?

Look at my abode
My home,
My room.
What do you see?
Dullness?
Restriction?
Someone abused?
Imprisoned?

Do you?
No.
I’m a Muslim
A Woman
And I’m free,
Respected,
Cared for,
I’m Happy.
