Automatonophobia
December 8, 2014
You’re not real
You look human, but you’re not.
Why are you trying to look so human?
You’re not human!
You’re not flesh, you have no bones
You have no life within you
You’re just an object!
You move like you’re one of us
You operate like one of us
But you are not one of us
You will never be real!
You’re made of wires
Your insides are circuitry
You’re cold and lifeless
You’re fake!
You’re not real
You never will be
You never will be.

I wrote this because I have an irrational fear of bionic or robotic prosthetics. I know that it may be offensive to some, but as I said, it's a very irrational but very real fear for me.
