Digging Your Own Grave

We can not control the actions of other people But we can control how we react We can show restraint and dignity By keeping ourselves intact People will show you their true stripes And will continue to play their games All the while saying they are different When in fact they have never changed When you have the mentality of a child And you have to pretend to be a man While digging busy digging your own grave You don’t see others have their game plan Another piece of evidence added To a mountainous file already miles high So enjoy your fun, you slithering snake When they come knocking on your door with a protective order, I can’t wait to hear you cry
