against black granite
she sits silent,
pondering no tomorrow
drawing agitation
across ivory skin,
anxious eyes
shut to cold fear
her destiny sealed
as an unseen war
rages within

That "war" rages in many of us until we have ultimately murdered ourselves. Letting go is easier!
Your take on the image is right on point. You went deep inside the heart, and mind of the young woman in the graphic art, releasing her soul.
I wish you well in the challenge.
Much Love & Respect ♥
