The Snake
Watch out for that certain snake
The person that slithers between moods
The person who takes personal issues,
using them as ammunition against others
Then, around the bend fake niceness ensues
It's as if the striking, painful words never happened
Back and forth it can go, as he or he hides from truth
This snake in the grass knows just where to go
Watch out for this snake, the motives it may have,
as this one builds plans to attack, swiftly, suddenly
It escapes accountability, leaving a path in the sand,
one with grains of salt, leaving an imprint on your soul
