Everyone points and laughs
as if she is a spectacle
someone from outer space
Her head cast downward
and her eyes filled with tears
All I really want is to show her
That she is beautiful
no matter whether her head
is covered by a piece of cloth
But my independence fails me
and I follow the crowd
out the door and around the corner
I can only hope she will be stronger than I
