I was born in this country
I grew up in this country
But do I belong in this country?
My parents were born somewhere else
They grew up somewhere else
Do they belong somewhere else?
They moved here years ago.
Had a hard time adapting this new society
Who are they? Who am I?
It is not easy
to find it self
Am I this or am I that
Not easy.

Nice poem, Berit! Good respons to Unaccustomed Earth, but also to all those who don't feel like home all over the world!
Like your poem, and it captures everything we discussed in class. Well done.
