Refutational Reputation

What is a reputation? What meaning does this word hold? Seems a fickle, intangible thing. Changes, as I fashion my mould. Shifting sand serving foundation. Island mansion housing past sin. Life sentence of judgment. A battle designed not to win. Built on other people's judgement. Erroneous and fallible, they may be. Nobody can truly be happy, without accepting self, truthfully. Don't let others dictate who you are. Reputation is an improvable theory. Let principles be your guidlines. They can answer the character query. Reject the lie pushed upon you. Another person's life-prison view. Everything in life is dynamic. Relative, and never the same for two. They never have the whole story. I could care less what others think. Circumstances change faster than a hummingbird can blink. So spew forth my reputation. It's something I don't believe in. You have no idea where I'm going, much less, where I begin. Where I have been, or with what I have to contend. So, for your inkling of mentation. Your summary of my living work. I bring you my simple refutation. You speak through your own murk. -Angel Fatale-
