Artificial (Revised)

Feeling good today          the sun's glimmering like little jewels in stale light          though the wind is brutally cold I don't mind it at all          letting things roll off my sleeve like water droplets on green leaves in a breeze          have nothing to think about          nothing to worry about          just the free feeling I was given today and though I wonder if this wonderful feeling is artificial          hand crafted by brain power in a lab          in the form of a peach tablet smaller than a pea          is this me          I don't know          maybe it's a new me ready to take on the world          but I can't help but be afraid that maybe I was better off the way I was          because it was all I knew          now I'm steadfast on a journey of becoming something new          uncharted territory          discovering things maybe eyes were not meant to see          like riches at the bottom of the sea          but I take a long look around and my environment is augmented in ways that I cannot explain          color is beautiful          people are happier          because hey          I'm happier          and though the definition of happiness is different for some          I think that this is what it is for me          and the help I needed to get here was all that I need.
