Is This The Universe We Live In?

How long does one have to fight,
till one is finally set free?
Does the universe chain us,
just so we can find out and see?

To take so much out of us,
then throw us another obstacle.
We are to decide if we can overcome it,
because you have made us so unstoppable?

Are we supposed to always come out on top,
even if we feel we cannot push through anymore?
When you throw the world at us,
and expect us to be okay just as we were before?

Do you think that after years of fighting,
a person gets to the point where they're indestructible?
That anything you throw at them,
becomes so easily conductible?

Is it that if you set them free for a while,
that then it's okay to chain them again?
because they know how to handle it,
and that strength they will gain?

To have constant obstacles and challenges,
or be broken down and falsely repaired,
is this what some have learned over the years?
to find hope and someone who cares then to have that hope be teared?

Hopeful and optimistic that someday you'll be free,
but for now all I can hope is that safe you'll be.

To fight forever is not something easy to share,
even if we've won for some to be congratulated we don't even dare.
