I OWE NO ONE

Smiles! I owe no one the truth,
not the sound of my cover,
not tears drenching my pillows.
I owe no one these poems,
not the words penned incomplete.
If anyone peels my skin
with the things I have not seen,
said or written in a page,
then I owe no one these songs.
I owe not the devil space.
Yes! I owe the Lord my strength,
and everything about time.
I do not owe you pieces,
pieces of my heart or soul.
I owe you all my silence
