A Miserable Muslim.

I want to wear my hijab with pride,

but every day is hard for me.

I feel ashamed of my modesty and

it feels like a complete and utter lie.

I want to walk out with pride and 

not feel guilty, like a sinner.

I feel like a fraud and a liar, not the

proud Muslim I should be.

I want to be a woman who's

confident in her faith and her life,

but I'm not. I'm just another fake

Muslim, and I hate myself for it.

One day I will be someone who can

be taken seriously, but for now I

guess it's just back to the old

life for this young woman.
