Faith and Hope
Anchors that keep your ship moored
Sails that your spread to stay on course
Rope that you hang on to
While dangling on a precipice
Ventilator that keeps you alive
Flotsam you hold on to
To stay afloat and not drown
The parachute that helps to land
And when you watch them both slowly dissipate
There is nothing left but to give up and die
