I Am Not a Terrorist

I am Muslim

Not a terrorist

I’m a Muslim girl

No, I am not a terrorist

So think twice before you judge me, brother

I’m a human being like you

With different beliefs and culture

I was born and raised in Islam

Believing one God

Who is Allah

I believe Islam means Peace

But social media has warped how people think

With assumed terrorism tearing my family apart

Mom from her son,

Son from his mom

Tearing apart

People trying to make their country a safe place

But all this started because of people who would assume all

Muslims are bad

It started with slavery

People taking control of what wasn’t theirs

Showing me the fake side of them

Making me believe

Those smiles are real but all they do is

Go behind my back and

Kill my people

Sorry that I’m a little protective

But I’m not a terrorist

I’m not telling you to love me, brother

Just think twice before you judge me

Love comes later,

Brother
