Renewed Glue Guy

For as long as I can remember I played the peacemaker role Depend on me as the glue guy As I try to keep things in control Don't worry I won't rock the boat Will keep things safe and stable Neatly buttoned up at all times Sure let's just go with that fable Was always wrapping up my worth In fixing other people's problems A well devised distraction tactic To avoid my issues and not solve them Been shifting the narrative lately Starting to shine my light internally Surprised how much was unprocessed What a relief to delve into discovery Now it’s time to make a decision Where will my energy get directed Continue to subvert what I require Or step up to my needs that I neglected Doesn’t mean I cast others aside Actually the opposite was proved When I fill up my own cup first I'm still the glue guy, just new and improved
