There... Veiled

i know it seems .. like just a dream

i try to reach but someone's gotta believe

sometimes it seems so hard to see

i know, i know .. someday we'll all be free

The Egyptian employee at the embassy looked at me and her mind went like "what the **** will this mid-twentees typical veiled Egyptian girl do in Europe?". Being so professional, she did not literally say that to me but instead she went like "hmmm.. but Christmas is a christian holiday and you're Muslim (she looked at my veil at that exact moment)?.. i mean aren't you afraid?... plus what can prove to me you're coming back? you have all reasons to stay you know". This got me pissed off for they treat us as if we're all in illegal immigrants boats invading the blessed shores, yet i drew a wide smile -remember she still has my papers- and i said " but ma'am non-religious people celebrate Christmas too.. you got all verifications i am coming back to Egypt and i dont have any more proofs!!" i really dont know but i cant forget the whole mood of skepticism.. I wish i see welcoming faces there to myself and to my veil!!!

As for the lady i will prove to her that Muslims do not get that much afraid anyway :) and i'll prove to myself that i can heal
