Poem: I am a Muslim girl

by CJCM on April 9th, 2008

A visitor to my blog has shared this little poem in her response to my recent post. I thought it deserves to be at the main page here at The Kuala Lumpur Traveler’s blog.

I am a Muslim GIRL,
Feel free to ask me why?
When I walk, I walk with dignity,
When I speak I do not lie,
I am a Muslim GIRL,
Not all of me you’ll see,
But what you should appreciate,
Is that the choice I make is free,
I’m not plagued with depression,
I’m neither CHEATED nor ABUSED,
I don’t envy other women,
And I’m certainly not confused,
Note: I speak perfect English,
So you need not to speak slowly,
You often stare as I walk by,
You don’t understand my veil,
But peace and power I have found,
As I am equal girl,
So please don’t pity me,
For God has guided me to truth,
Back to the path of Islam..
And now I’m finally free!!!

Thank you Mawaddah for the nice poem.
