I am
You stare because I am not showing my hair
You think I am oppressed by the males in my life when really I am not
Because I am covered you think I am not liberated, but liberty is not defined by how much you cover or not it's measured by how free your soul is
I am covered from head to toe not because of his creation but because of him
You try to scare me, but I am fearless
You want to destroy me, but you did not know, I am made out of rocks and stones
You call me extremist, but I am only extremely thoughtful and caring
You expect me to follow the society, but I have something much more to offer
Yes I have faults just like you, but I do not let them distract me
I am Strong, Independent, Muslim, Ethiopian women, with bright thoughts
