oh, so that's how they do it

as a child
you find someone, a friend,
an adult,
someone on tv
that you admire
and you begin
to emulate them.
mimic their behavior,
take on
their persona
whether real
or not.
you're just trying
to find your
way in the world
having been raised by wolves
with no one to look
up to.
you see how  these others
get it done.
they seem to have
life figured out.
and so off you go
being them in some
imaginary fashion
until you find your
own way,
your own wrong or right.
