You and I

I am a planet and you are a star
You are beautiful as you are
Shining and showing and twinkling at night
Like a diamond; you show your great might
Strong and steady; you are a guide
Large and heavy; I fear I should hide
I reflect kindness and beauty and grace
You reflect nothing and stay in your place
I am dependent and you are sublime
You are dying and I'm in my prime
When you're alone you still are fantastic
When I'm alight it must be by magic
You give courage and control
I give nothing and I'm dull
You are self-righteous and I am a mirror
Though you are brighter they all see me clearer
Your light is your own
I reflect what I'm shown
I am a planet and you are a star
We are beautiful as we are
