All This Time

On empty pages
I’m writing the words but don’t know what they mean
And it’s contagious
New normals passed to me just like a disease
Do I scare you?
When you look my way, what is it you see?
Uncover my truth
To find that you were only ever looking for me

And all this time I thought that you
Were trying to change me
You were trying to strip away
The parts you knew
Were never me at all
