To Whomever It May Concern
To whomever it may concern,
Although it may not concern many
I just want my voice to be heard
I dont need a single penny
Yes I have food on my table
Yes I have a roof over my head
Yes I have loving parents
Yes I have a queen sized bed
But why do you assume that I'm fine?
Why do you think I haven't struggled as well?
I am a female, muslim immigrant
But on that, I never dwell
I have a smile on my face
I think your's is upside down
You say that I've had it easy
But I have been punished for being brown
I try on a headscarf only to get bullied
I take it off only to get scolded
I change the way I dress, act, and speak
I am forced to be completely molded
People stare at me when I walk by
They accuse me of stealing from their stores
They say "get out of my country"
But this country is just as mine as it is your's
I do not need you to feel bad for me
I can do that on my own
Just do me a favor
and never assume the unknown
