"Ever worried about what the world thought of you?"

"Nope. I only worry about what I think of me."

"What do you think about you?"

"That I am a broken-eyed, converse-reject-wearing wise ass."

"Really? And what do you call yourself?"

"I call me proud."

"Oh."

"What do you call yourself?"

"I am the grade school version of the heartbroken girl, who can't play the guitar so she strums a ukulele instead, who can't paint so she draws terrible pictures in graphite that keeps giving way."

"I see you doing it again. Put the fucking pen down right now and stop it."

"Stop what?"

"Doing that."

"What? I was just writin-"

"You're cutting yourself to pieces with shark-toothed words again. Just because a sword is a beautiful, glittering object of honour doesn't mean it always has an honorable purpose."

"Do you really think I am a sword?"

"Nope. I think you're beautiful, glittering object of honour. And the thing with honour is, it makes the world turn to stare in awe."
So somebody stole my words today. He claims he wrote them. I was about to stop writing all together, and then I realised, that means he wins. He isn't going to take down my words.

I wrote this piece of Honour to remind myself what it means, and how what is honourable (the truth) always manages to win somehow. That there will always be justice in the world, even when you cannot see it.

EDIT: And he pulled down all the work! Thank you guys!! I could not have done this without your help!

I could probably favorite your work all day but I must go to sleep
(Please let me sleep TAT)
You just have this way of turning things into stories and I want to consume them all--in a respectable manner of course, I don't steal pieces because that's dirty >:V
