Thank you Oneg In The Arctic for the first line.

I’ll laugh if this gets lifted

She said

Having no idea what she started in my head

I first laughed at what I just read

But then it stuck

Unfortunately

Sometimes friends steal

Yes, as sad as it is

It is real

Still don’t know how to feel about it

Especially when they’re held in high regard

And touted

As a pillar of the community

How could they do this?

To me?

Why, oh why?

You of all people?

I thought I would let go after just one

But it required a sequel

I thought you were my equal

I even looked up to you

Your kind words

Your seemingly endless work ethic

Always seemed so hectic

Now I want nothing to do with you

Because now I see the truth

There’s nothing but hollow greed

That spews from you
