Change Or Convince Poem by Michelle Dominique Augustyn

Do people change or convince?
I am not sure which side to choose
I have nothing to fall back on though
Do I know, or do I think I know?

I came to this topic for you
My mind has lead me to this place
My mind is a guide to anything
I came to this topic of you

Do people change or convince?
That is the question I ask all
That is why I am confused of you
Do you think people change or convince?

I am very lost in this place
Wondered far off the path of everyone else
Wondered to a place of numbness and bliss
I am very lost without your answer

Opposites attract, but only when I see you
So are we too far away?
So what shall I do to come closer?
Opposites attract, but I could repel

People say you should take risks
Though, I always follow what others say
Though, they may be right
People say you should be an individual

Reasons for my confusion are prevalent
Do people change or convince?
Do people know where to go?
Reasons for my confusion leave me lost

Have you chosen your side?
Maybe you can convince me to join
Maybe you can convince me to change
Have you changed?
