Torture/Reward

Why do we push through so much pain    
Are we crazy, are we insane    
Why do we fight such a losing battle    
Rowing upstream in life without a paddle    
     
Swimming against the current, walking uphill    
Done for self torture or done for the thrill      
Boulders are obstacles in our lifes fields    
Is it too risky or rewards will it yeld    
     
Challenges in life come way too fast    
The destiny we choose determines our path    
When knocked out we can stay down    
Or confront our fears refusing to turn around    
     
But why challenge ourselves, why do we fight    
Escape the darkness and shine our light    
So we can show the world we're battle tested    
Our resilience is strong when underestimated      
     
Believe in ourselves so we can feel alive    
Show the world no matter what we'll survive    
Our strength, our will they can't take away    
We will be victorious every single day    
     
Take a step back and enjoy this view    
A self reflected memory we went through    
Without facing challenges we only feel pain    
But by overcoming them, the beauty we gain
