These give me a sense of what it must be like for you. These words also show me that you are indeed strong because you can write this way. Thank you for your poem.

I cannot imagine having to live like that. You are a brave person and the burqa will not take that away from you. Thank you for reminding me of how much freedom I have. Blessings, Adina Roya Salaam Alekum

I was very interested in the the fact that you say you love your hejab but you detest the burqua. It seems many non-muslims do not make this distinction.
