Things Always Go Wrong – The Poem

Synopsis: Things tend to go wrong, no matter how hard you try, per Murphy’s law, and you end up failing for no fault of yours.

Verse:

You work your butt off
Expecting things to fall into place,
And yet they go awry.

You leave all insignificant things aside
And give up any extracurricular activities
To avoid any distractions
And focus on the thing at hand
So that you get it right in the first try
But it still turns out to be a botch job

You try with all your might
And exceed your expectations
Even delivering on all fronts,
But someone stumbles
And spills moldy beans
On your carefully prepared latte
To ruin everything —
That you had so diligently prepared
And you lose again like you always do
For no fault of yours.
