Big Butch Barks Back: Standin' Up

BIG BUTCH BARKS BACK

Created for some of the more raw and painful aspects of growing up different. Sometimes angry, sometimes funny, always honest. Sometimes, the language is very harsh because pain is not gentle.

I am determined to chronicle all aspects of living with absolute candor and genuineness. It allows a connection with others at a deep soul level because they see that you understand their struggles when you reveal your own. If you are offended by cursing or expect the beauty you see on my other blog, Whisper Creek, then you may want to avoid this one. This is the very human side of me, the one God plainly sees. It is the part that God is healing. Let that be my witness.

Standin' Up

You try to hang low and do your best

make no trouble and live like the rest

then they mess with your own, cause you pain

hassle too much in your home domain.

Sometimes you gotta kick ass and take names

after a while you get tired of the games

so you do what's right and jump in the flames

can't always make it good by being tame.

Ain't trying to be no superhero

but ain't gonna live in a cold subzero

I like my house warm and full of love

I'll make that happen if I have to shove .

Sometimes you gotta kick ass and take names

after a while you get tired of the games

so you do what's right and jump in the flames

can't always make it good by being tame.

Sometimes doing the right thing ain't easy.
