Abstract Notion : Reality
Author Function: Depressed Dreamer
Why must reality always beat me down. Why can't I be friends with my reality? I wonder if reality as a whole is the same as my reality. Does it mean, I have my own reality? Wasn't there someone who said that reality is what you make of it? I think I remember hearing that somewhere. When I heard it, it actually made me believe it. When did I lose that feeling of believing? If I could define reality as I wanted...
New hope dawns in the horizon over the crystal clear blue sea. Reality exist solely beyond that horizon as I traverse the sea of dreams, captain of my own ship to reach a reality that is worth living in. But the waters shouldn't just be calm, there need to be adventure on the treacherous sea - sea monsters and maelstroms to navigate around, like the people telling me that I should adapt to the real world, to reality. But that is their reality and I will fight my way through them all until I reach the dawning hope and beyond that my own reality.
If only it was like that but sadly reality isn't what I make it, it is just something I cannot escape.

Any other author function I can think of would have been either more philosophical or more clinical in the description of 'reality'. At least more academic and less personal.

This is quite lyrical in its tone, and the way to go even further down that path would be to make it a poem. Otherwise you are right of course that most other functions than the poet would make the text more academic or at least descriptive.
