My Hijab Poem by Sarah Chowdhury

This piece of cloth on my head
For which I get suggestions "why don't you show your hair instead."
I say " it's reassures my dignity"
They say "how come? This should be your indignity"

This head coverage
Which they say for that I'm underage
They ask " why does your parent oppress you? "
I say " this is what I was looking forward to"

They aske "what do you called this thing? "
I say " it's my Hijab."
