USED TO BE THIS – USED TO BE THAT!
I used to be this and I used to be that.
But I am no longer this and no longer that.
I used to be carefree and go with the flow
Now the flow is a trickle.
I used to feel young and easy to please.
Now being easy to please is a chore.
I used to sing in the shower.
Now I worry about using too much hot water.
I used love to walk in the rain.
Now I focus on the thunder.
I used to think the best of everyone.
Now I think everyone just thinks about themselves.
I used to think life was so exciting.
Now I think life is just too hard.
I used to love to travel everywhere and anywhere.
Now just to pack a suitcase is work.
I used to love to walk on the beach.
Now I think about how hot the sand is.
I used to be this…used to be that.
But I am no longer this and no longer that.
