Narcissistic Commitment

People don’t think of you the way that you like 
who do you think you’re conning when talking all that ite 
blagging everybody you come into contact with 
proud of the first opportunity to take advantage of gifts
boasting about your blagging skills as if you ain’t known as a blagger who can’t be trusted with anything always a late giver backer
when the first impression you make shifts to a shady replacement 
to never reappear after that first meeting you’re different 
and when debts ain’t paid you never blame yourself 
you go and point incompetence at somebody else 
so it’s never your fault and therefore cannot be helped 
treating friends unfair 
until there ain’t no one there 
because you just don’t care 
but in your stories you swear 
that you’re selfless and prepared 
to save everyone who is facing despair 
after blaming the individual for their own fate 
comparing the fact you made decisions that they ain’t 
because you make the right choices and have superior vision 
sounding authentic to those who don’t expect to hear fibbing 
and when you big yourself up there’s also somebody digging 
and though they helped you back up you forget that as you kick ‘em 
saying you wanna help as you continue to hit ‘em 
acting like it’s all their fault as you leak criticism 
combined with a sad face to ensure the sympathy’s given 
because you lost a mate 
when they fell into this place 
but last month they were fake 
and it was too much to take 
for now they’re nowhere to trace 
as they avoid you with hate 
as you remove yourself 
from any involvement or blame 
and act all confused
saying they must be insane 
because to not like you 
must mean they haven’t a brain 
and then you emphasis this point 
by saying they’re the slow train 
who you have to help by shining 
a light that explains 
the simplest interactions 
that they take the wrong way
in fact if you speak to your friend 
they would be right as rain 
as the fact they don’t like you 
is their stupid mistake 

The narcissist in you evident 
cold twisted malevolent 
suffering though you’re innocent 
from someone far less intelligent 
now confused by developments 
believing things deemed irrelevant 
a friend you’ll save cus you’re brilliant 
despite the painful experience
