Me

I’m an expert in nothing and I’m not an expert in anything.
There is nothing that I know but someone else knows everything.
 
What’s more I’ve never had one original thought. Never in my being.
There is nothing that I’ve thought that someone hasn’t been thinking
 
Feelings that shook the earth or made the skies fall down -  were never just my own.
There is nothing that I can feel, that others haven’t known
 
My eyes are my fathers and my nose is definitely Gran’s 
My hair belongs to my Aunt and my niece has my hands.
 
I’m really just quite ordinary and nothing is unique
Except the mix of all these things that makes me be just me.

I thought this was going in one direction but you nicely subverted it.Yes it is a mixture of all the ordinary that makes each of us extraordinary.  
Short,sweet and to the point

I liked this. 
Sums up lots of feelings and ideas, being like and individual at the same time. Nice thought.
