I found a nice poem regarding hijab..Just wanna share it here ^^

Please see me for who I am...

Hijab 

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

Stop gawking at my modesty

Stop staring at my clothes

Stop criticising my way of life

Believe me…

I’m happy with what I’ve chosen

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

Listen to me, hear how I speak

My lowered voice, my respectful tone

Hear my honest words ring true

Please listen…

Hear me speak the truth

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

Watching me as I walk down the street

See my lowered gaze

See my self-respect, my virtues

Please see…

My confidence in life grow

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

Can’t you see my innocence?

My simple want to live in peace

Can’t you see I don’t want a fight?

Please believe me…

When I say: “I’m happy!”

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

Please all who are listening

To this poem from the heart

Stop this foolish charade

I’m begging you…

Please see us for who we are

Open your eyes

Open your mind

Open your heart

See me for who I am

A little girl, a grown woman

The elderly lady down the street

We are all happy with our life choices

So please…

Leave us in peace
