Standing in the midst of my shallow Mind
scattered thoughts is all i can find
walking through tangled paths
before my eyes my life passes

Grieving i stand still
Sinful is my past
sorrowful is how I'll last
Everything is just fading

Weeping for salvation
Lamenting for the life I've wasted
A treacherous everlasting mock it was to me
and an eternal autumn, let it be

I'm sensing the despair behind this piece, but some of the expressions you have chosen do not read particularly well - possibly because English is your second language (and also, in a couple of places you are struggling to maintain the rhyme).

scattered thoughts is [should be are] all I can find

walking through [along makes more sense] tangled paths

before my eyes my life passes - is archaic. No one speaks or writes like this nowadays.
my life passes before my eyes would be the standard way of saying this.

Sinful is my past - again terribly archaic. It sounds like an extract from an ancient text the way you have written it here.
My past is sinful makes more sense - although, of course, the rhyme is lost. But at least the sense is maintained which is more important.

but as for

A treacherous everlasting mock it was to me - this line has got me beaten. I've no idea what you are trying to say here.
