Who Stole the Money

A bag containing money and a passport goes missing 
the money was a gift that had just been given 
years went by then within my vision 
my passport spawns in the room you’re living 

If it got there then the money did too 
mystery solved the thief was you 
you stole that gift from your parents room 
but with my passport from me I presume 

A selfish side of you prepared to steal 
taking what appeared to be mine 
are you actually serious and for real 
fake friends like you get left behind 

Narcissistically lying and selfish 
perfect in your mind like no one else is 
but I think you might just be helpless 
think you’re king you ain’t no Elvis

And my absence is explained as mental 
like you’re kind caring and oh so gentle 
trying to look broad shaped like a pencil 
existing in a very lonely social circle 

because even if the lie’s believed 
you appeal to nobody 
so celebrate your victory 
you might have won but you’re still lonely
