What Am I?

I look into my past 
And see the mistakes I made
The lies I said 
The tears I shed
The people I hurt and the thing I did
What am I goin become?

What lies in my future?
Will their be pain 
Or maybe even crime 
Maybe time will tell 
What I’m goin become ?

Evil sometimes takes the lead 
Makes a person do thing they can’t  believe 
Pain will come from evil 
Is evil what I’m goin become?

Happiness is hard to find 
Makes a person walk a good line 
Success will come from happiness
Is this what I’m goin become?

My future isn’t clear 
So my present life is what’s near 
My life is yet to come 
What am I?
