Life's a cruel joke
No matter how you try
You fail, you get left behind
People get greedier and more selfish
You get too old to have fun and be happy
Society doesn't like old folks
They care about young people and money
You can never get your youth back
You can't win or succeed
All you do is fail, fail, fail

- Comment from author about the poem: I give up on trying to succeed in life. I have tried for over 25 years to make a name for myself in the art field. None of my attempts works. I fail at everything I do. I'm just a pathetic, 38-year-old man who lives in a small apartment, has a modest retail job, and is trying to get his voice heard in the harsh world of art and literature. I'm a loser. An old, talentless loser.
