Parasite
Parasite
We raise parasite
that starve us to death
Overwhelmed by its property
and cause our freaking faith.
— Nomad
“We raise parasite”
This line suggests that the destructive force is not external—it is created or allowed by us. The “parasite” can be understood as toxic thoughts, harmful habits, or negative influences that originate within human choices.
“that starve us to death”
The parasite gradually drains us emotionally and mentally. It doesn’t destroy instantly, but slowly weakens our happiness, energy, and willpower—like something feeding on its host.
“Overwhelmed by its property”
Here, “property” refers to the nature or characteristics of the parasite—its ability to dominate, spread, and control. The speaker implies that humans become powerless once it grows strong enough.
“and cause our freaking faith.”
This line expresses emotional intensity and frustration. The parasite ultimately damages or destroys faith—this could mean belief in oneself, others, or even life itself. The word “freaking” adds a raw, emotional outburst, highlighting desperation.
The poem suggests a psychological truth: humans often create their own inner destruction through negative thoughts or choices. Once these grow unchecked, they begin to control us, slowly draining our strength and weakening our faith in life.
