Modus Operandi

To you:
Sometimes they will cheer,
Sometimes they will hate,
Sometimes they will even fear;
For that’s the Hero’s Fate.

But you’re a hero, stand up for the True!
Be yourself that much you can do!

And stand up for some other
and take your hero even further.
Protect the weak and never let the Good falls
You’re a Hero, never reject your heart when it calls.

Even if you don’t wear a ‘S’ or a cape
What different does it make?
You’re a hero if you hear your Call and take it…
believe it, and never fake it.

So stand up for everyone else
and stand up for you,
But always stand for the True!

Well...

What if I wrote: "I love you, my sweetheart", would you think I'm writing for you? What if I wrote "My body fall's dead", Am I a ghost? Or am I writing from someone else perspective? My poem does not have to obligatory be addressed to every single reader. I think!

settle down

I was talking about being preachy, not the specific grammatical choice. You know perfectly well when "you" means someone specific or the general readership. It is the intention and mode of address I was talking about, and I think you know that very well. It's almost sarcastic the way you edited the poem. If you don't like my feedback you can ignore it. In this case I think you misunderstood it. cheers, Jess
