WILL I (first poem of the year)

Will i become what i never knew,
When I know what I need to become?

Will i see what i never saw,
When my eyes begin to see my stars?

Will I grow to be what my being entails,
When my vehicles begins to breathe?

Will I be the freedom that no one fears,
Will my struggle for success be wished for?

When I walk through the gates that gave me in?
Will i be known, will i be kept whole in memory,
After doing all things said and done?

Will i be a song unsung,
Or a song sang to trigger the fire scared to burn?

Will I know what you think of me,
Before my time shoot its last bullet?

Will I be my pride, my own hero,
Or a villain who enjoys victories that hurts?

1] You only need one [ess] in the line: "When my vehicles begins to breathe"
[either the one at vehicle or the one at breathes.
Personally, I would opt for keeping the one on vehicles,
Making the line: "When my vehicles begin to breathe".

Then, I would make the word [sang] sung, in the line: "Or a song [sung] to trigger, the fire scared to burn?
It should be [shoot[s].
hurt, rather than hurt[s].

Always glad to help. Use my advice as is, twist it to use as you would your own, or let it be. ~ Geez.
