I defy U


I can't change, it's obvious I can't change. So don't try to change me, it is a pointless pursuit, I like being odd and an outcast, I like it when I feel different from everyone, I like it when I am out of fashion and I still believe in ideals.
I can't stand my job anymore, I thought it was about activism, about raising awareness about important causes instead it's merely, purely about marketing, and my strong opinions and belief can't be sold, they must improve and raise. I can't work there anymore, especially because I am an humanitarian, not a vendor. I miss my old job, even though my co workers hated me because I wasn't racist and actually helped the refugees and, most of all, because I am Muslim. Hopefully, I'll get the job back when my revenge will be done and I'll be finally the innocent. Because I AM the innocent.
I'm mentally tired and emotionally drained. I am starting to feel like I am paranoid but I am afraid there's a conspiracy behind my back...if not, bad luck exists. Really.
I hate my job, I know so well about the causes we work for and I have less success because I am professional, I dress modestly, I don't flirt with men nor with the boss and coworkers, so I get less people into the refugees' cause. But I helped so many refugees I know and I am the one who knows better about them. And I love someone who's somewhat one of them.

Question is:

Am I wrong, or is Italy wrong?

Because I am trying to fit in a country who's mine but doesn't accept me being me. I don't have equal opportuinities as other women because I depend on my brain and my heart and not on my body. And that's the sad truth about the country of the sun, women who are objects have more success then women who have opinions and talents. The only people I get into the refugees' causes are strong, committed, feminist women who are like me. They like me and they trust me. And God, I am so proud of them. Who cares if I get few subscriptions, I have high quality ones. They'll help the refugees forever, not just few months.
So why would I change?
I'll never change. I won't.
I am happy with my odd self. I enjoy my strange side.
I'll raise above one day, and will have the job I deserve. Then I'll make peace with my country: when I'll be respected for what I am, when my rights won't be denied, when I'll be able to breath...

Sweet revenge


I made myself a promise:
That I will get revenge.
I won't let my enemies win,
I'll stand up for my priorities,
They will not tear me down,
They will not cut my wings,
They will not shut my voice.
I'll fight for my rights,
I'll fight for my love,
I'll fight for my beliefs.
Nobody can clip my invisible fairy wings.
Nobody will take away my power.
Nobody will stop me.
I'm not afraid,
I'm not scared,
I'm not escaping.
I'll face this ugly world,
With strenght on my side,
With courage in my heart.
I made a promise,
I'll make it,
I won't break it.
They tried to hurt me,
Allah, they tried to break me,
They tried to chain me.
I'm not letting them win,
Wallahi I'll make it.
They laugh against me,
They look at me with evil eyes,
They insult me with their racist oppression.
But I smile inside,
Knowing I'll make it at the end of this trial,
Knowing that we'll be happy togheter, with our beloved families.
I defy their obsolete laws,
I'll raise against their racist system
I'll protect my precious beloved one from them.
I'm the good soldier,
The one who defies the army in order to help the oppressed,
So I am hated.
Throw your stones,
If you think your sinless,
I'm not scared of your inquisition,
My love and my soul are my armour and shield.
My conscience shines protecting me from you, my legs are my horse who will run for justice.
My heart is my sword and my brain is my helmet.
Prepare the next battle,
War is open,
Dark is your thrill of war,
Shining is my sword.

I'll never change




I'm tired of those who believe I should wear a miniskirt in order to be more successful at work,
I am spreading the cause of refugees', not selling myself.
And I don't want to show off my body, which is too precious to be seen by someone who's not my man.
And call me puritan, who cares,
I'd rather gain less than selling myself.

And no, I am not ashamed of my body,
I do love it,
Love it so much I'll only show it to that amazing man I call habibi, my love.
Only he will see my legs.
So don't try to change me.

Don't look at me like I'm oppressed,
by a religion
it's my own choice.
