Demon of complacency Yours is the face I see I never wanted to look back I knew my life was on the track. For far too long I had thought I had the whole world caught. I should have been afraid Thinking that I had it made. Excuses and ruses, I had them Emotional accounts, I padded them. I ignored all my past mistakes. I figured they were just the breaks. And now it is my time to shine. I knew for sure I would be fine. I could go back to my bad ways I would have nothing but sunny days. The bad things that happened to me All came about quite accidentally. I am so much older and smarter. I know so many tricks of the trade. I have this race made in the shade. Crashing and burning a non-starter. I could whip any monsters in the room. I was sweeping with a brand new broom. Demon of complacency Yours is the face I see I never wanted to look back I knew my life was on the track. For far too long I had thought I had the whole world caught. I should have been afraid Thinking that I had it made. I was sure I could run around With the gang I had always found The drinkers and smokers of **** I have all the protection I need. There is no reason for me to be Locked up in a kind of high security. I can take a drink or a tiny hit Now that I know when to quit. I miss my friends and fun and dancing. Besides you need it when romancing. I would be some kind of wimpy pain If I didn’t offer a bit of champagne. So, I know I can make it. I’m strong. If someone is worried, they’re wrong. A person can drink a few times a week. I’ve outgrown all the worry, so to speak. Demon of complacency Yours is the face I see I never wanted to look back I knew my life was on the track. For far too long I had thought I had the whole world caught. I should have been afraid Thinking that I had it made. Brent Kincaid 4/11/2015
