orchid
Me, and my helmet such a non-conventional orchid All intense and kinetic, at best tolerated from afar Not yet arrested, and by that I'm in-betrothed, though I start? I am newly coated, I've just not been trusted with alters I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned yet disturbed wrongly label-ed and underfed, treated like a rose as an orchid My friends, as they weigh in, they're understandably protective They have a hard time being objective So inside we console each other... I'm a sweet piece of work, well intentioned and unloved Wrongly labeled and misunderstood, treated like a rose as an orchid You've got water to me, making sure my bloom rebounds you know best of what my special care allows So I've lived in my blind spot. Thought myself usual when I'm not in your guard Then there's a nice spot, as long as it is brave where you are For this sweet piece of work, high maintenance and deserted I've been different and deserving, treated like a rose as an orchid This sweet piece of work, overwhelmed un-observed I've been bowed down to but so misread, treated like a rose as an orchid
