This is ME!!: My Guest Book

Where are you from?

Where are you from?
Someone inquired of me today
My response was somewhat elusive
I was uncertain what to say

Why is it that people ask
This very common question
It must be to categorize me
With stereotypes of a nation.

To reply was not as simple
As at first it might appear
For a growing number of us
The answer is not very clear

Could citizenship be what they seek
Though it does not express who I am?
Or is it more likely my ethnicity
From whence my ancestors came?

Birthplace is the answer most often sought
Though it does not represent me in the least
My personal identity IS what matters
Who I am is me

Nartionality, birthplace, ethnicity, culture
Leave them all behind
Find out who I am as a person
Without the need to categorize

I am multicultural and global
Different lands I do roam
I am a Global Nomad
The world is my home!!!

-Miguel Karian

This is a very suitable poem for my kids who have been roaming in 3 continents in the past 8 years.
