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!]
