Again, going through some stuff here and found another piece that use to adorn my desk... enjoy!
Pity Me Not
Pity me not
For the clothes I wear
Nor for the scarf that covers my hair
Pity me not
For my black garb
My modest air
My humble heart
Pity me not
For my lack of speech
Because my silent voice can always find a heart to reach
Pity me not
For my Muslim name
It is the sign of my honor and the badge of my fame
Pity me not
And call me oppressed
Because from society's norms I'm differently dressed
Pity me not
But try to understand
That I love my religion and I'm proud of who I am!
Pity me not
For following the divine way
But pity those who have been led astray!
Hmm... maybe this is why everyone (not all but some) in my office took such a disliking to me when I reverted- too much Muslimah pride! Oh, well.... LOL
