I Never Said It'd Be Easy Living With A Contradiction

I Never Said It'd Be Easy Living With A Contradiction

I'm your rebel baby,
your lost cause son-of-a-bitch,
a rewind passage
and backward progression in one.

I'm forward passiveness
gimme-gimme generous
giving hedonist
and plagiarist of creation.

Oh baby, come forward,
and I'll age you back to youth,
another trip around the sun
and you'll be wiser and younger for it.

Wasting youth on the old
never will taste as good
as it does in the sun
on the beach in December.

So be my innocent convict-
my honoured son of God-
a fast-forward brick wall
and my future crumbing in none.

-Matthew Koutzun
