Third Person Talking
We all have different voices in our heads, like the lover, the practical one, the empathetic one, and the playful one. Sometimes, to get a grip on things and look at things from a detached perspective, I talk to my practical side, a.k.a. the third person.
Here's a poem I wrote for this voice:
******
I carefully save that cash for future, one that seams so bleak.

Past regrets being my continuous reminders
Screaming of all the impulsive decisions I took in shivers
I find myself standing with one leg in the future, and one leg in the past,
all the while drowning continuously in present's vast.
In these moments of internal chaos,
strain & hassle compose.
So, I stop and take a step back
Ask myself—what is causing that knack.
I realize.. nothing. NOT A FREAKING THING.
Putting things in perspective is what I lack.
Talking to myself as a third person helps a lot.
Most times it's about things yet to pass, but likely not.
Your piece is deeply introspective and captures the inner conflict many people experience.
