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.
