And I am

I am spirit
I am everything you want
But you don't see
I am glass
Reflecting you in quick succession
It helps me smile than whispering into dawn
With muffled hands I sleep
Under a blanket of leaves
Smiling into a void
That soon swallows and dips
Cocoon me; I am safe in here
Without ice drips venom
Currents of blood
I am life
It surges through the wall
Pressing quickly
Time passes without breathing
Undertake to understand
Morals
Tales with wise people you never knew
Forgetting everything that matters
Close a door in your mind
Trust to nothing as a new day appears
Lark under the apples
New fallen from a cloud-haze tree
Swinging branches frozen with a single whisper
I hang a dream in every window
Gleaming when the sun shines through
I see you through a mist
Rainbow-sweet butterflies kissing through my eyelids like
sunbeams
(It's as if) I'm falling into my words
Take them back but it's too late
It only makes it worse than if I'd stayed silent
I struggle to be me.
