Orchid
Me and my helmetSuch an unconventional kidAll intense and kineticAt best tolerated from afar
Not yet arrestedAnd by that I mean betrothedThough a start I am newly courtedI've just not been trusted with alters
I'm a sweet piece of workWell-intentioned, yet disturbedWrongly labeled and under-fedTreated like a rose as an orchid
My friends, as they weigh inGet understandably protectiveThey have a hard time being objectiveSo inside we cancel each other out
I'm a sweet piece of workWell-intentioned and unlovedUnlabeled and misunderstoodTreated like a rose as an orchid
You've brought water to meMaking sure my bloom reboundsYou know best of what my special care allows
So I've lived in my blind spotThought myself usual when I'm notAnd your garden is a nice spotAs long as it is brave and where you are
For this sweet piece of workHigh maintenance and desertedI've been different and deservingTreated like a rose as an orchid
Sweet piece of workOverwhelmed, unobservedI've been bowed down to, but so misreadTreated like a rose as an orchid
