Reputations

Reputations are fickle things,
Fragile things,
Valuable things,
Sometimes cursed things,
Sometimes blessed things,
Hungry things,
Misunderstood things,
Life giving things,
Life taking things,
Not always friendly things,
Not for the faint-hearted things,
That always come with strings,
That can turn us into out-of-control things,
When reputations are the only things that matter, things.
