Life

You can live content and happy
But first I'll make you strong
You'll be given obstacles 
To prove that you belong
I'll throw you many curveballs
Ones I know that you can take
I'll put you through trials and difficulty
Knowing you'll always escape
You'll experience grief and hardship
And wonder every day
What exactly was the reason
That made you want to stay
I will lock you up in darkness
With faith that you'll find light
But not before the moment 
You decide to finally fight
You can live content and happy
Knowing you worked hard
Success never comes easy
Because first, I'll have to tear you apart
