Tarboosh
A daughter of the Sultan I was.
An eagerness to rule others overcomes.
Gold surrounds my naked arms,
But I am a warrior to banish my family from harm.
Red symbolizes love.
Red symbolizes blood.
It shows my bravery and honor,
The war on the battlefield with which I become fonder.
The King of the world,
Not the Queen,
For that is for little girls.
I raised a name,
From six feet under.
A name of a father,
Mixed with the energy of his daughter.
"Hey, Khalileh",
What? A name used from thy mouth other than the Sultan!?
I banish thee!
"Give me the hatm it's time for sleep".
A sprint to my father,
Allows me to wear it longer,
To show him how I am his son,
Not only his daughter.
