In shadows where my dreams once glowed,  
An imaginary friend’s tales overflowed.  
In that world, fears take flight,  
Yet by day, I'm gripped by fright,  
A scary solitude, weakness bestowed.  

With memories softly entwined,  
In this paradise world, solace I find.  
But mental illness creeps near,  
Loneliness whispers here,  
As I wander through fragments of mind.
