Life, I Surrender

I don't get it
we all have our problems 
we all struggle against defeat
we all hurt
we cry from pain
we stress, and abuse, and run, and hate
and love and from love we hate
so what is the point?
if every good thing ends
in disaster
if everyone eventually leaves
and every pleasure turns to pain
and every win, is another defeat, a loss
why struggle?
why hurt?
are we awarded
with some prize for overcoming
our obstacles 
or is it all for
nothing
maybe it would be easier to 
surrender
