I know the attitudes. It is so sad... We have to feel this "shame" to be different...To stand out... Hijab is not about standing out... Just one piece of clothes..

And you know funny thing is that I myself never stare people who look somehow different..no matter how many piercing or miniskirts or punk hairstyle.. I respect everyone's freedom to express theirselves.

Don't worry about the comments of people.. It is only comments of people who's mind are too limited...who are scared different new things...

I don't care about them. It is for Allah I wear hijab, not for people. Not to please anyone.

If you are interested, read my poem "life is not a beauty contest".

Best regards,
Noor

I personally liked this one alot
every single line was well expressed
espcially those lines "All they do is look at me with fears
But if you look at me you will see my tears...
NOT because i have been stared at or made fun of
but because people are ignoring the "one" up above"

This poem is really full of faith, Allah bless u always sister
