What is honour?
Is it the respect of our peers that we've made good life decisions to get to the present point
Is it fighting our fears until we're no longer scared or put out of joint
Is there honour in seeking out pleasures we enjoy, even if others don't think we should be allowed
Is there honour in certain social restrictive measures, so that we fit in more with a crowd
Is the honour in self-sacrifice?
Is the honour in self-realisation?
Is the honour in giving others our advice?
Is the honour in patience and hesitation?
It is hoped we are perceived as honourable
That we are worthy of that high esteem
But we all hold different things as venerable
So it's hard to say exactly what honourable should mean
For myself, I believe honour to be with those who don't know
And admit willingly they still have much that needs to be learned
Who try to advance themselves, with no aim where to go
The lost but willing. That's where I see honour is earned
