That I Am

If I am that I am
Should shame plege
That, That I am
When what I am
Combined of choices
Some less dignified
As what I am
Is much more realized
With characteristics
Of selfless deeds
Although I am selfish
Although I am helpless
To human need
Living within a soul of thurst
That I carry from a past life
In which I do not know
Hinting dreams
Misunderstood 
Seeking the righteous
Amongst the unrighteous
That I am
