Pieces of What?

I'm a patch-work quilt.
My personality is a mixture - pieces of other people and objects.
Pieces of people that inspire me, pieces of books that I love, pieces of characters that interest me, pieces of music I adore.

Pieces of What, exactly?
Well, It's hard to tell. I've been collecting for so many years now that I can't differ between what i have always thought, or what I've taken on board because someone else believed in it.

It's never occurred to me before now, but does that make me not really me at all? Or does it make me a very complex individual?
I'm confused, but I don't know how to change. Honestly, I don't want to change, because everyone else is so much more interesting than myself.
