Matrix: Red Pill Please

Matrix: Red pill please
By Michelle Morris 
26/06/2020 

Do you see me?
Am I real in this world?
Or am I a being in a matrix
Of controlled hysteria?

Please give me the red pill - 
Take down the maze of pretence
and obfuscation;
I want the truth and my freedom...

To choose -
To live
To hope
To dream...
To be anything I want
In between the light and the
Shadows... 
A warrior or saviour or
Freakish gamer... 

As changed or unchanged
As I choose...
With the red pill
I can't lose...

Do you see me?
Am I real in this world?
Or am I a ghost in a
Matrix
Not of my choosing.
