A little too tight,
A little too many pins,
A little less confidence,
A lot more strain.
They can't see,
My faltering footsteps.
They can't see,
My forced smile.
A few pauses,
A few more stops to go.
A few people in front,
And a lot more stares from behind.
They don't know,
that I know.
They don't know,
that they're being obvious.
One more step,
One more thought,
One encouraging smile,
One wholesome soul.
My smile,
İt's now one of pride.
My smile,
İt's now one of joy.
I am a Muslim.

The way Muslims are portrayed sometimes makes me go 💔
Islamophobia is just so full of misconceptions and prejudice -sigh-
There's nothing weird/wrong about believing in one God. I'm Muslim and proud of it.
