I can be
a source of inspiration
a noble reminder that
sometimes you just got
to let the bad times be
I can run into your house
with groceries, cook,
turn on the radio,
make you dance
make you laugh
shake off the sad
I can drag you to a park
buy you ice cream
do your hair
let you sleep over
at my house
but you must believe
you deserve love
you must believe
you’re worth it
I can’t validate
your life for you
you have to do it
