Hope

Holding it within my heart

Only death can take it away from me

Part of me wants to give it up for a while

Even though it is my only chance at survival

Hello, my dear intangible companion

Occasions in which I need you never seem to end happily

Part of me wants to give you up for a while

Even though that would surely lead to an early demise

Having dreams would allow me to escape temporarily

Other people may give in to this temptation

Precious few minutes away from this example of Murphy's Law sound extraordinary

Even so, I am not one of those people

How about I build an axe from driftwood and chop down some trees

Organize a camp with a tent and a fire

Plan a way to attract attention

Eventually, I could be rescued and live happily ever after; all thanks to my lovely friend

Hope.
