Why Did I even Try

I tried to make it better

I tried to give you happiness

But it almost cost me mine

I cried for hours when you gave up

On sisterhood

And friendship

I remembered every good moment

I remembered every funny note

And inside joke

That had become an integral part of me

Those things that made me laugh

Now made me cry

I didn’t understand why

I tried to fight for what was right

For you and I

But the battle was already lost

You had given up

On friendship and us

You say the fights aren’t worth it.

I said they were

But apparently I don’t get a say when it comes to your little games

You told everyone you knew

Didn’t you?

I would know cause I used to be the one you told

So funny how it came full circle

Now people who I used to talk to and laugh with

Won’t even look me in the eye

It’s like you’re a queen

And they the servants

Instead of us all being equals

No one can stand up to Queen Elizabeth

Why did I even try
