This written piece is about an American-born Indian girl whose parents emigrated from India. Each stanza refers to a certain event or feeling the girl experiences. She struggles to grow up between the conflicting American and Indian cultures and must come to terms with her identity. She is not necessarily embarrassed by her Indian culture, but finds it difficult to adhere to a culture that may not accept her based on the color of her skin.
