Stargazer
I cannot make you love yourself
I can't make you look at yourself and see the galaxies that make up your bones and the stars in your eyes
I can't make you hear the power in your voice as the words pour out of your mouth like water in an overflowing sink
I can't make you realize that not everything that happens is earth shattering, that you're made of something strong enough to hold the weight of the world
i can't make you love you
but I can make you feel loved
