If I Was Lore

As mysterious as that thing that lives in the woods

If only I was as mysterious

as the local lore

As elusive as the creature that lives in the woods

that everyone talks about but no one's ever seen

Like a mysterious being that observes the townsfolk

while staying just out of sight

I would be the tales told of a local urban legend

passed down from one generation to another

the stories told of me around campfires would keep me alive

centuries after I'm gone

There would be an allure to my presence

a deep sense of mystery

A presence that would bring forth conflicting feelings of fear and curiosity

People would wonder

second guess

Was my existence only an urban legend?

A figment of their imagination?

If I was as mysterious as the local lore
