Spoken Word: Muslim Girls
I am a Muslim Girl
Modesty is my middle name
“Terrorist” and “dangerous” are carved in my blood
While side looks and shameless whispers get pierced to my earlobe
Though sincerity is written in my fingertips
No man shall ever see
The humanity hidden in my palms
Or the respect I carry within myself
I am a Muslim Girl
As innocent as can be
What have I ever done?
That only Allah can see
Do not judge me for who you think I am
You’re nowhere close to right
Quit harming the harmless
And watch me put up a fight
I am a warrior, built out of clay
I am a Muslim Girl
And will always be ‘till the last day
