Hopefully Not the End Result

what's my passion?
what is it that defines me 
Is it the great things I have 
achieved in my soon to be 25
years or is it the tragedies I've 
had to overcome as a young 
teenager a fatherless boy trying 
to be a man to find a way to fight 
without actually hitting people 
I had to pay that debt but 
I dread that the way I'll be defined
is dying an old lonely man that 
wasted all his potential
