Orchid

A Poem by Aurora (MC)

" Another poem after Numb Heart, as I can't help feeling depressed all these days. "

We're like Orchids, mistaken parasites,

That we suck out all the life out from what we rely upon,

But just mistaken parasites, black bees.

We are illusionary bees that don't buzz,

But actually humm, and that's song

If you could listen carefully.

We are orchids,

We just rely to live, at the need of support to survive,

What makes you laugh at our miseries

When you know it macerates us in our own tears,

And heart starts to ret in blood,

Bones smelt in shame and fear

And maybe we are not left with any courage

When you just make us feel terrible facing the world,

You make us believe that the rest of the world is like you.

We are soft hung from branches of big trees,

But we are mistaken to be parasites,

That we kill all that we rely upon.

That we pass our miseries onto you and so,

In extensive grief, we hide our half burned faces,

So that we don't scare,

We struggle in the maelstrom of pains when you're still

Shamelessly staring at us,

And like our brains have been blown off in the turbulence,

Numb like lost senses and feeling of ending ourselves,

When comes over, you call us coward,

So how do you think like us,

Strong splendid bodied, careful calm creature,

We can't act so that you can take amusement,

Why shouldn't we feel pain, sorry for ourselves,

And pretend with stolen masks that'd make us like you.

A never ending chronic pain we bear with this illness,

That disrupts all our life and blends with hell.

With a dysfunctional brain inside my cranial case,

That pains throughout the days of migraine,

And like killing pain,

What do you laugh at?

At us standing alone ?

At us making follies?

At we are helpless in front of you,

And that we survive on others,

How can we be burdens on you, or how do we scare you?

Are you so ill-heart tenuous humans that we are simply

The songs of elegy,

Appear like a great melancholy.

We are just Orchids, the mistaken parasites,

We just live and rely on but never harm, just spread beauty,

We are just Orchids.
