i spent several years struggling to make it and have nothing much to show for it

i spent several years trying to make it in hollywood ( more than 30, and i have nothing much to show for it. i made very little financially - a few hundred dollars , --etc , not enough money to make a living at writing ,singing music. I had to deal with rejections, misfortunes and coming across ignorant people who don't have my best interests. I also dealt with people who put me down , all the time -they are evil and who say they allegedly use my songs sampling ,use them for soundtracks which is criminal,evil but they are lying - too much ,but i am grateful for being able to release my music on an indie label that dont give me much - and videos= i am a professional songwriter, - making music to make a living , to make money , i did not make music for the love of it,
