all things being equal

I used to be thoughtful
but now i am just like you.
I used to be encouraging
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at calling
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at sending funny or encouraging cards
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at texting good morning
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at responding to your facebook status updates
but now i am just like you.
I used to leave voicemails wishing you a great day or a great weekend
but now i am just like you.
I used to be helpful
but now i am just like you.
I used to be good at  being the first at offering to help people move furniture
but now I am just like you.
I used to be good offering to transport people, and for free.
but now I am just like you.


***
I used to be all about other people
but now i am just like you.
Now, I'm all about myself.

just like you.


(and when you ask why you haven't heard from me lately, read this poem)
