First Legit Post (its a poem)

Ok my first legit post. Wrote this poem when I was like a freshman, but I think its good...good enough to post up here to share anyway.
My Life
by: Jean Villarama

Welcome to my life, and this is my story
A tale full of pain and glory
A story revealing the real me
For all the world to see

My story, what a fairy tale
Too many things done to only fail
Too many mistakes and things undone
Looking back, I feel so dumb

Back and forth, my life has been
Between mistakes and what could've been
Wishing I could go back
And fix these mistakes I had

So much pain, and I've just begun
I haven't mentioned the things I've done
I know I'm guilty for the things I've said
And all the things that's in my head

If I burn for every sin I've made
Then in the future, I'll surely fade
All this pain locked in one man
Whose very life has just began

God is my witness throughout my life
He sees everything, no doubt in my mind
All my choices weren't always right
Still my soul feels as dark as night

My whole life has felt so hopeless
And it was all counsumed by darkness
I've commited one sin after another
I don't think God should even bother

But above all, I know my faith
There's no way I'll stand at Hell's Gate
God loves me, no doubt in my mind
He'll protect me, no matter what kind of fight

God gave me basketball, my heart & my soul
And I thank Him for that, praying I won't fall
I work day and night, perfecting my blessing
I'll crush all doubt, leaving them reminiscing

I've suffered through endless pain
But I see her, and it all goes away
It never matters what I've been through
She makes it better no matter what I do

But being with her bring more pain
All I've done for her, it was all in vain
I think I love her, my heart can't rest
But sh'es just a friend, no more no less

I can do anything with her in my mind
From a championship, to a fight of any kind
When I saw her, something came over me
It was the best feeling I could ever feel

Now I wait for her, full of hope and wonder
Waiting for the day that we can be together
But now, I use her as my concentration
To fuel my incorruptible determination

My focus is basketball, day in and day out
Nothing can stop me, there will be no doubt
For greatness, I've shed blood, sweat, and tears
I will show no mercy, I will show no fear

There will be a day when all men will know
That this man right here is the best of them all
This goal softens my pain and sorrow
It gives me hope that there will be tomorrow

I've shown you my pain, I've told you my glory
And now comes the end of my story
So many errors, so little done
But I will fix everything, I've just begun

My whole life's a puzzle, one I need to solve
I'm missing some pieces, I need to find them all
The pieces I have, where do they fit?
I need to find out, my life's incomplete

All my life, I knew something was missing
And all I did was keep on wishing
But now, actions must be taken
I need to fix things; I must awaken

All my struggles made me whole
All my sorrows forged my soul
As much as I want to, nothing will change
It's my reminder that I've made mistakes

All this pain has made me stronger
I can't complain, cause nothing's over
There's more pain along the way
I can't live a life filled with hate

I've gone through many, I've had regrets
It created my life that I'll never forget
I've faced my struggles, I won't be a quitter
And for my future, I won't be bitter

My past is an error, it gave me no lift
But today is my present, today is my gift
Today, I change things, for better not worse
Today is the day I lift up my curse

Thinking back, I never knew what's right
But that'll change; it ends tonight
Tonight marks the start of my glory
But now, this is the end of my story
