SUBJECTIVE

Taking a third person perspective
And is often easier to be selective
Yet so difficult to remain objective
But can still reflect personal views
And strange opinions one can use
Draping a character in your cloak

A second person narrative is hard
Never sure how to play that card
And likely always on one’s guard
Used, as if behind another’s eyes
With such intimacy it can surprise
As just like a stranger, you awoke

The first person is regularly used
Lesser chances of being confused
Whether one is angry or amused
Statements made from the heart
That can still upset the applecart
But smile at a private hidden joke

Whether He, She, They, I or You
In speeches, writings, poetry too
Ascribing words to someone new
The oddest subject is using None
Indistinct, when referring to One
But do not fix it, if it ain’t broke
