I cannot win
I never will
In this world I'm living in
I try
But what's the use?
They just tell me to try harder.
Try harder?
Yes, masters
I'll try untill my hands are dry
And the skin on my feet is blistering.

I'll never win
When playing this game
A game where I do all that you say
You make me think that I can win
If I only just try a little harder
But, no, I won't win
I'll only lose the fight
That I put up with myself
Trying, trying, trying,
And never getting anywhere.

You've already won, Joy.

You can express yourself and that, in itself, is winning.

You've got the wrong rule book, as I did.

Throw it away and use your own, each day you'll get a WIN!!!

I believe this one's a WINNER

"there is no winning, only degrees of losing." I'm not sure where i heard that but that is what this poem made me think of.

Good job.
