I am My Soul

You my soul is the very essence of who I am.
You rule my head, heart, and emotions-
I remain trapped in your pulse.
You are my teacher, lover, and guiding light. 
Allowing me to function in the highest form as-
I taste your truth.
Setting the ground rules and direct my personality.
You dictate my behaviour, creating my inner being-
I am the asylum of your ache.
Although you keep me under a tight rein
While you release any negativity or opposition I may bear like-
Verses in the Ash
You remain my free spirit, allowing connection to others.
Embracing all the goodness and beauty within my surroundings.
You forgive, love, and continue to guide me through my unique existence.
Upon my death you my soul, I will release into infinity to -
Where orchids dream
I am my soul.
