Adversity

Isn't it an adversity?
So many souls trapped
In this universe
On this planet
In their country
Their city
Their house
In their family
In their own body
In their own god damn mind

Fighting for freedom
From their own caged self
Fighting for happiness
Fighting for rights
Fighting for wrongs

Fighting,
With the world
With people
With society
With themselves

Losing the fights
Winning nothing
Winning the battles
Losing their minds

But the biggest adversity of all is
Sitting locked up
With the key in hand.

Have you guys ever felt trapped ?
By anything ? Be it family, friends, society or narrow minded thinking ?
Literally or figuratively ?
I do. All the time.
Here's to hoping for the freedom.

I actually wrote this one for the poetry month celebration and this the extended version because the prompt was to write 4-8 lines only. Hope you enjoyed it.
