People say I am beautiful and terrifying

That's right.
I hear that often.

They say I'm beautiful, smell good, and am alluring.
But I also know that behind my back, they say I lean on things and am a burden.

Some even say that because of me, things have been strangled to death
or ruined.

Well, that can't be helped, can it?
I am the type who cannot live
without leaning on something.

It's not my fault, really.
Isn't that just because you people don't take proper care of things?

It's true that insects flock to me endlessly.
But since they are useful to me,
I let them drink my sweet nectar.

Calling me terrifying is awful.
I just tend to lean on things and want something to rely on.
Just because I'm strong, I don't want you to talk about me like I'm a villain.

After all, everyone does that, don't they?
If there is something to lean on, they lean.
If they can grow, they grow.
I just want to live.

What, you still think I'm terrifying?
No, I am just beautiful and resilient.
I haven't done anything wrong.

What do I think of this house?
Yes, I like it because I can grow freely here.
It's comfortable to live in.
It's a lovely house, isn't it?

See, you can smell the sweet fragrance, can't you?
