LIFE AFTER SALEM

What if someone said you are crazy, madd, deeply sad or lazy. what could you do whether or not it may be true but the implication stands amazing. what if you were behaving without anger or harm and had only the bearing of usual scars. what could you do if the acccuser of such a claim spread word to those who know you, not know you, and add others to their claim game. i'll assume a game is what it may be if you are harmless and maintain discreet. but others begin to see every mark or dark spot upon your skin as a larger almost undeniable evidence to the somewhat rumors of your craze, maddness, sadness, or laze. and perhaps those others begin to listen to every word you utter has a slight oddness with possible mixed meanings which in some minds cause a stir. directing eyes to that which stirs for mere joy or concern throughout time often occured. sometimes it was unjustified but other times when one yelled there's a wolf a wolf was there with no question to its presence that could be made. so if someone says you are crazy, all you can do is hope you dont look that way. or is that your plan?
