I am not original.
Not in any small way.
I am my sister's ex-boyfriends.
The ones I always used to look up to.
I was so little.
They always seemed so cool.
They have affected my music.
The way I dress.
The words I say.
I never swore until my sister got to Western.
Met a "big kid" and wanted to be like that.
My friends.
So many times I have needed them.
And they were always around.
So many things they have done for me.
I only wish I could repay.
But there are many nights.
I wish I could be like one of them.
My life just never seems to measure up.
Maybe I just dream to much.
One specific cousin.
Touched my music more then others.
His outlook on life.
Would blow a philosophers mind.
Weekends camping.
Wanted to be exactly like him.
He was the coolest person I knew.
Another cousin.
He was funnier then ever.
I'll admit he made me pee my pants.
Numerous times.
So great.
I miss him dearly.
My uncles.
They are so funny.
The things they say.
I've always tried to be like them.
Though they work so hard.
And aren't filthy rich.
They are so funny.
My father.
I don't like my father.
Though I see him in my.
His work ethic.
His quick temper.
I will be alot like him I fear.
You see.
I am not Dustin.
I am all of them put together.
Am I fake?.
Boy, I hope not.
I know I am hard on myself.
Never meeting my standards for myself.
So I look to others.
But they do not live my life.
I am me.
I make the decisions.
Important ones like.
Vanilla or Chocolate.
Well today I feel like twist.
So I am going to live.
Influenced by those people.
Maybe not thee most unique person.
No that isn't me.
But I am who I want to be.
