Surrender

I've been working on today's poem for quite some time. Trying to make it perfectly the way I want it. I've got the words where I want them but I don't know what to do about the outline. So I've given you two versions of the poem to look at. The first version has the words embeded into the picture. The second version has the words beside the picture. I can't make up my mind which one I like better. Part of me feels like with version one it is as if the model in the picture is just breathing the words. This is to a degree how I felt when I wrote it. But on the other hand I feel like the picture should be an add-on and not detract or make up the meaning - so that is why I put it beside the words. Any thoughts on the best version.

Surrender in the vastness of reality.

Resign preconceptions of sanity,

relinquishing determination.

Abandon delusional fantasy

the pretence of certainty.

Relenting strong holds.

Admitting my failure

through realization of my dire calamity.

Succumbing to the torrential down pour.

This, the actualization of my trepidation.

A quivering moment

and yet I dwell.

I dwell in misery,

as I inhabit this place

of unadulterated nonsense.

Existing.
