Why?

Why can't I wear my veil? Sacred words from the heavens into the bin Since when has religion become a sin? Why can't I wear my veil? Is my social-acceptance what worries you? What good to me could social-acceptance ever do? Why can't I wear my veil? It is not just a simple cloth that covers me so It enfolds my soul, just so you know Why can't I wear my veil? I shall never use it as an i d e n t i t y I shall only use it as a gesture of me OBEYING God's orders Why can't I wear my veil? Is it because of my environment? Or because I won't succeed to cope it with my age? My trivial sun kissed strands of hair do NOT matter They do NOT matter They don't God drew the map of the world on my face Neither blow dried hair nor semi-clothes could add to my grace Why can't I wear my veil? Why?
