I turn the corner find people looking and staring
Simply because my hair isn’t baring
I wonder why…
I then realise…
Some think I am controlled
Whilst others believe I am uneducated
I wonder why…
I then realise…
These people with these thoughts feel I have no voice
They think being hooded means I have no choice
I wonder why…
I then realise…
People whisper that I am oppressed and rejected
For they do not know I am covered and well respected!
I am not judged by how I look
But the way I speak and my conduct
So while passers by may see me as a reject
I know inside I am perfect
