Old Habits Die Hard

Got to hold it together, try to keep my cool, Even when dealing, with imbecilic fools, Should know better, but they freak me out, When in the wrong, they just scream and shout, My problem is, I won’t back down, Especially if right, and dealing with clowns, Should I be the one, to hold my tongue, Guess it all stems, from when I was young, Always had to, stand up for myself, Show any weakness, get beaten up, no help, That’s my dilemma, remains with me today, I’m wiser now, still can’t turn the other way, Hold your ground, never let bullies off, scot-free, Face them down, no good cowards, you’ll see, Only seek easy targets, to punch below the belt, Fight back hard you Lion, watch their bravado melt.
