”There is more to me then what ur eyes can see”, she tells him.
”Let us walk together, let me introduce you to the life im living.
You don’t have to search between the lines,
I’ll be an open book for you to read,
don’t analyze the words im giving,
I’ll open up my heart for u to reach.”
She asks him for his patience, but he is not willing to stay,
”Why should I waste my time on you, I know you people always walk your own way”
She responds: ”I am not ‘you people’ nor was I or will I ever be, more than just a single person… I’m only me.
You might think I have a hidden agenda for everything i do,
though your mind should accept everyones single view.
From my point of it is to at least hear people out, stop judging through your preconceptions, give me a chance to tell what I’m about.”
”Let’s hear what you have to say, but make it short, every minute spent with you is a minute of waste”.
”To give you another picture from the one the media is delivering, I want to show you the whole truth and nothing but it: I am not oppressed, nor am I beaten to submission. I’m indeed a free woman making her own decisions. I cherish my life and love The One who has the worlds in His hand, but I would never make you bow under the faith that I have.
You are your own self, I don’t blame you personally for what your neighbors do, I just wish you would look at me with an open mind, as I look at you.”
”But why do you bring your religion to my land and change the sight of our women, now I see them covering their hair and talking about religion ”.
”Why do you let the media make you blind? My religion teaches me to cherish each life, including my own with dignity and pride. If I choose to wear what you are not used to see, it’s not to be a nail in your eye, rather I want to walk with my pride, HIGH, above the sky.
For my self-respect is at its best when I’m left to decide over my own life.
”What do you want from me?”
I would like to live with you in peace, if you would just accept that I won’t fold under your way of life, and in return I won’t force you to fold under…mine.
Let us find peace,
peace between us,
peace of heart,
peace of mind.
Let us walk together in search of a common ground.
