Pashmina prisons
Pinned up so tight
You could say we're oppressed,
But you wouldn't be right
The cotton confines us,
But you’re liberated
We are forced to stay covered
While your free to be naked
You see when I speak
My words are heard
No one is critiquing my body to
Determine my worth.
It takes courage to wear
The Hijab this is true
I am often misjudged
Because I don't dress like you
When I wake in the morning
And pin on my "suppression"
You think I am a prude
That lacks self-expression.
I have my own reasons
You might think me odd
I dress not for myself
But I dress for my God

This is my own personal experience. To all my non-Hijabi sister this is in no way meant to be disrespectful and is aimed more toward American Media. I hope you enjoy!!!
