                                                My Superhero Cape

                                               By: Habiba Ghanem

Most superheroes have capes around their necks

And while I may not be a superhero I have a cape around my head

It is one way for me to represent

The messages of Prophets that Allah has sent

A way for people to REALLY see

My true identity

A way for me to earn respect

And a way for me, my sisters, and Muslims everywhere to connect

I know that some will judge

But rest assured I won’t budge

For what they may not approve of is my safe haven

One of many reminders that my ultimate goal is to go to heaven

And while it may not be a cape that allows me to fly

It gives me many reasons to smile

It is something that makes me, me

Just your average hijabee
