Tripping, stumbling through the unknown
Hoping I can find my way home
Where my wounded heart resides

Wandering further and further
From where I want and who I want to be
Striving to protect the one I love,
though I don’t reveal it

Floating in the wayward wind
I’ll get to where I want to be
Eventually
Actually I did this for a school poetry contest. We're supposed to chose a fictional character we relate to and write about it. So naturally, I chose Wirt from Over The Garden Wall! Gnome Headed Poetry Boy!

Spewing forth the lies of man
Dripping with deceit
Sopping up the foolhardy gents
In shadow do we meet
Out the corner of my gaze
He stalks the darkened halls
Watching those who are lead astray
And from the path do fall

With courtship and loving words
Oozing sticky sap
Stench of rotting milk and curds
Of fleshy skin and tight burlap
Two eyes do pierce the thickened fog
His body a black wiry frame
As he offers you the deal
To keep his lantern aflame

And from the trees he'll feed
Sipping souls straight from the shell
Beware the beast who turned his back to heaven
And shunned from the gates of Hell
