Why Was I Born

Choosing to live in self-created dreams as a way to cope with solitude.
All by myself
Emphasizing the solitary nature of the dream-making process.
Dreaming that you're beside me
Imagining the presence of someone special, likely to alleviate loneliness.
I picture the prettiest stories
Creating beautiful mental scenarios while dreaming of the imagined presence.
Only to wake up
Realizing the dreams are just illusions upon waking up alone.
All by myself
Reiterating the solitary awakening and the absence of the imagined companion.
