I'm Human.A Poem by FiriamI'm a Woman, I'm Muslim, I am Bisexual.I’m a woman I’m a woman, but I am not weak and stupid I am strong and intelligent and I work harder than most of the men in my life have. I’m a woman I’m a woman, but I’m no model and I do not like showing my skin or body out in public I do not like showing off as if I’m beautiful and better than other women I’m a woman and I have flaws I have flaws, but I do not hate myself for not looking like the women that society views and wants. I accept my flaws instead of trying so hard to change myself to look pretty, to look beautiful, to look flawless. I’m a woman I’m a woman, but that does not mean I am no good at sports, that I am supposed to join the other girls playing hopscotch and jump rope when asked if I can join the boys and play basketball. I’m a woman I’m a woman I’m a woman I’m Muslim. I’m Muslim, but that does not mean I’m a terrorist I am not angry or violent Being a Muslim doesn’t mean that I go out in the streets and spread hate, violence, and terrorism that are sinful and goes against the quran and goes against my religion and goes against my parents and goes against Allah and goes against Islam Being a Muslim means I have an identity, I have a valued belief, I have love and care in my heart. I’m Muslim I’m Muslim and I may not wear the hijab but I do not need the hijab to prove my faith to my religion I am not oppressed and I am not strict to myself and I am not repressed I’m Muslim I’m Muslim I’m Muslim I am Bisexual I am Bisexual, but I’m not confused. I am Bisexual and it’s not a phase and it doesn’t mean I am attracted to every male or female that walks my way To straight girls, yes I am Bisexual, yes it means I also like girls, but that should not make you uncomfortable every time I am near you, every time I talk to you, every time I ask you a question, every time I look at you. I am Bisexual I am Bisexual I am Bisexual and to most people of the LGBTQ+, yes, Bisexualiy exists, the B in the LGBT, exists for a reason. I am Bisexual and it may be surprising to you because “I look straight” to even like other girls, but why is straight even the default? I am Bisexual and why do I even have to feel awkward to come out to anyone and everyone I talk to? I am Bisexual I am Bisexual and I worry that I make other people uncomfortable because of something that is apart of who I am that I cannot change. I am Bisexual I am Bisexual I am Bisexual I’m a Woman, I’m Muslim, I am Bisexual I’m a Woman, I’m Muslim, I am Bisexual, but to Islamic homophobic people, that does not mean I have to choose one or the other, that Bisexuality and Islam does not mix. You cannot make me choose between my religion and my sexuality I’m a Woman, I’m Muslim, I am Bisexual I am Muslim and I am Bisexual, I cannot be either or, I am who I am. I was born this way, Allah made me this way. I’m a Woman, I’m Muslim, I am Bisexual I’m a Woman, I’m Muslim, I am Bisexual I am Human.. By: Firiam © 2018 Firiam |
