Unfortunately in the realism of most reputations,
Stories unfold
Ones you haven't even heard of,
Whispers behind ears, perspectives untold,
Like a popular virus, it travels far and wide,
Shaping perceptions like liquid, flows right

A delicate thread, easily tangled,
Braided and spread, next second; you're wanted dead.

Build it with sweat, brick by brick,
In a missed second, it's split and lit

"Guard it well, this delicate treasure,
One wrong move, and your life is over!"

Rumors and lies spread like the plague
Even if it's vague, people find rays out of hate
Say "it was a mistake"
Say "i can do better!!!"
You live once
You should have known better!
Always be aware
Be a snake with a soft lair
Or be a victim to despair.
