Palimpsest

Rewrite my life 

and

Scrape me clean.

Erase these ugly lines 

worn by time.

Transform me.

Let me live a day 

not as myself.

As something more

than myself.

For I have been changing

and changing

and changing

but always in the same ways.

I don't know

how to be anyone

more than myself.

They tell me this is great

grand

but I whisper softly

what if I don't know who I am?

I loved the first few lines up until transform me. I thought it was going to be a lyrical poem, but I felt like it lost its rhythm after that. Not sure if that’s what you meant. It’s fine if you did, everyone has their own style. Loved the question at the end to make the reader reflect. Only other things are spelling errors: “Palimpsest” you missed the ‘p’ and you wrote “theses” instead of “these”.
