a copy of a copy

some people are self-defined.
by this I mean, they change their surroundings,
and while their surroundings, of course, effect them (how could they not)
generally, they will walk into a black room, paint it white
and walk out with a little white paint on them.
why?
because they just painted the room.
then
there are people who are defined by their surroundings
they will walk into a black room and notice how everything is black
instead of painting it white
they paint themselves black.
they have no self-identity.
year, by year, by year they are transformed by the people they surround themselves with.

I can not begin to imagine living like this.
I can not imagine living like you.
