Into the background, she fades
It's her personality, they raid
A Muslim girl should not be
A Muslim cannot be free
they said
A Muslim Girl cannot dream!
Prim and Proper she must always seem.
She cannot love
Must only follow God above
they said
Her spirit they broke
her life they considered a joke
she walked away from life
her throat slit with a knife
all because of the things they said.
