Botched Words

I believe... I see... I think... I feel... Therefore I am. I am. I am. Flesh & blood. Bone & hair. My words aren't mixing, aren't rhyming, aren't anything. Failed attempts to s-p-e-a-k. Each letter is blotchy & black. My mouth is filled with Rorschach tests. Can you find the hidden meaning? Do you see a giraffe or brains blown against the wall? "I thought I knew", she said with a faint smile. "Oh honey you never knew..."

Just wonderful so thought provoking! I think I'd add 2 lines by breaking line 7 after "mixing" and 11 after "meanings?" Light & Love [great end!]
