The word "You" in songwriting and poetry

I am generally thinking about a certain person when I say 'you' but I always try and make it impersonal, so that the reader can identify with it and think of their own 'you' if that makes sense. I try not to include many personal memories in poetry that I make public because I don't want to alienate my reader. Personal writing though is a totally different kettle of fish...as is erotic writing..
