Searching & Searching: Looking to Find Myself
Searching and searching
Looking to find myself
Where am I at, where have I been, who am I
Searching and searching
Looking to find myself
Under my pillow, and beneath my prayer mat
Searching and Searching
To find
Something one of a kind
Tradition, and Culture
Meaning and Understanding
Knowledge and Action
Striving
Searching and Searching
Looking to find myself
When all the while I was hear
Underneath this khimar
Behind this laptop
And dhikar beads in hand
I am an African Muslim Woman
Dealing with the issues of this land
America the free
America in me
Who am I
Searching and Searching
Looking towards tradition
Looking toward culture
only to become more confused
Still Striving
Still Hungering
To find the true me that lies inside
Fearful of what others may find
Knowing only he will decide
Bismillah
Bismillah
I will no longer hide
Inside myself
And will be myself
Until the day I die
ameen
