What is Reality

Medical droids prepared me, dropped in a tank
Filled of the solution, for an antibiotic purpose
Burns were healed, but the scars wouldn't fade
And being unconscious for the stay in the tank
I then slept in ways, that made me fear waking
The dreams were without ability to ever wake
As nightmares that replaced dream, flourished
When I was healed I opened my eyes in horror
The world I knew gone, only artifice remained
I've no desire to know whether I'm real or fake
I can only hope that in waking it isn't a dream
Or one calibrated to perform inside my brain
No longer wholly organic, nor machine
