Which is which? - Val Sengebau

Who am I?
Where am I?
I can't seem to find the answers.
I don't know where I belong.
I don't know where to go.

I remember just one time,
The time I had two angels.
Both were good advisors
And told me who I was
And where I belonged.

The first advisor helped me.
He told me many things.
He told me to follow him.
He told me what was good
Which was truly good for me.

The second advisor helped me too.
He told me many things.
He told me to follow him.
He told me what was good
Which was truly bad for me.

I don't know which advisor to follow.
I think I'm lost.
I don't know where to go.
My trouble leads me
To only one place—hell!
