I Am

I am a babe yet, I am an elder…

I am pure yet, I am corruption…

I am beauty yet, I am ugly…

I am strong yet, I am weak…

I am honor yet, I am disgraceful…

I am holy yet, I am sinful…

I am great yet, I am humble…

I am peace yet, I am at war…

I am wise yet, I am ignorant…

I am love yet, I am hateful…

I battle yet, I seek salvation…

And only One can aid me in defining…

The true knowledge of which I struggle…

As to whom I am this being…

Of to whom I Truly Am.
