The Choice v2

Fingertips brush the doorway to tomorrow
Microchips glimmer in my palm like stars
In the mirror, half-human, half-machine
Can I still recognize the eyes that are mine?

Logic and emotion wage war in my veins
Evolution's lure ripples through my being
Humanity's call flickers like a candle in the wind
At this crossroads, which path should I choose?

The choice, sharp as a blade across my heartstrings
To merge or to remain, my soul trembles
The choice, heavy as a boulder on my chest
Soar into the unknown, or guard what I've known?

Memories like water, will data dilute them?
Love like a flower, can it bloom in silicon valleys?
When thoughts can reach the edge of the universe
Will my smile still retain its purity?

Logic and emotion wage war in my veins
Evolution's lure ripples through my being
Humanity's call flickers like a candle in the wind
At this crossroads, which path should I choose?

The choice, sharp as a blade across my heartstrings
To merge or to remain, my soul trembles
The choice, heavy as a boulder on my chest
Soar into the unknown, or guard what I've known?

Each heartbeat a countdown
Each breath weighed on the scales
In split-second synapses firing
Do I alter eons of evolution?

If I choose to merge, will I still taste joy and sorrow?
If I refuse, will the world leave me behind?
Standing on the line between human and superhuman
My decision redraws the blueprint of life

The choice, sharp as a blade across my heartstrings
To merge or to remain, my soul trembles
The choice, heavy as a boulder on my chest
Soar into the unknown, or guard what I've known?

Whatever I choose, I'll never be the same
A butterfly emerging, or staying true to form
On the precipice of this monumental choice
Whose future will I touch with my outstretched hand?
