i'm screwed any way i go
so just why should i try
no matter how much i smooth out things
i know the sparks will fly

if i do the wrong thing
i expect to find some shame
but when i do the right thing
why do things turn out the same?

it seems i don't get an even shake
against me, life's deck is stacked
i've had very few opportunities
and few want to cut me some slack.

why must life be so difficult
especially when i am trying?
when i seek it's joys to find
so often i end up cryin'.

i can't help but think
my luck is bound to chance
maybe if i moved away
somewhere and changed my name.

could somebody help me
please to understand
how to get out of this rut
and find a working plan?

tell me what's the secret
and i'll do it right away
i'm ready for a new path
so friend, just lead the way!

Good, powerful poem.  I like how you indented the crying smiley so that it was a little over to its left from the center... like the human heart.  
Ok everyone... I'm sorry to comment on the syntax of the smiley.

I'm in love with my shadow
I admire it daily
