REPUTATION
Red, red vision with a colorblind mind
Each somber sequence, broken being kind
Palatable, friend of a friend and nothing more
Unavoidable conversation, a sigh, a chore
Telling truth, telling lies, telling what I need to get by
A song in secret, background noise, to find me they don’t try
Tied to brighter light, dim but acknowledged enough
Insecure, malleable yet sheltered and rough
Only few get to her before the walls emerge
Never steady, they stay standing at a distance, she is standing on the verge
