They Used to call me Glue
They used to call me Glue because I kept everyone together. Without me they dissolved and dispearsed. They became a saline solution. Salty and scared. I didn't stick around long enough to notice. Now all I do is bounce. I bounce and bounce around until the tension runs out. Ive dried up and they want to throw me out. They can't see that I've changed from Glue. Ive changed into something Blue and Bouncy. Like a rubber ball.
I'm something new
but they can't find my purpose
because I can't stick around
and they cant stop seeing me as
their
glue.
They dont understand that ive tried going back in the bottle. They dont understand that I like bouncing better. They dont understand that I dont want to be stuck to them anymore. They weigh me down. They dry me out. So, I am a rubber ball now. Ill bounce from person to person because I dont want to be stuck anymore.
