You Owe No One

Written by Jacob Ibrag

You owe no one. Time has been allocated towards

your existence. Each breath accounted for. Guilt is a weapon

of internal destruction. It’ll tell you to do things, uncharacteristic

to your identity. It’ll tell you to keep the peace, to abide according to

the majority. You owe no one, not even yourself. There’s never

enough time, especially when you figure that out.

Over the years Eyes + Words has turned into a wonderful budding family of over fifteen thousand people across all platforms. It’s surreal and humbling to know that the art of poetry and story is alive and thriving. That being said, I hope that the creation of the Eyes + Words Writers Group serves as a vehicle and launch pad to help and support writers and the aspiring ones to keep manifesting words that many out there are searching for everyday. So go on and contribute, lets elevate together. Everyone is encouraged to share their experiences with anything involving writing.

  6. I think this is incredibly relevant, and well expressed, as guilt plagues us all, it weakens the will and paving the way for that uncharacteristic behavior you speak of. And it’s a devil to break away from.
