Summary: We all know skull kid has had a rough life, or many lives, even though all he ever wanted to do was play. Well, in this poem I've decided it will be a message to Link from skull kid talking about memories and wishes starting from the end of Ocarina of Time, to Majora's Mask, carrying on to the first time Link would encounter skull kid in Twilight Princess. Either way, this is what my sleep idled mind came up with. I hope you enjoy it!

Skull Kid's Message
There are people here who call me a trickster
And others that call me a lost broken child
But in both stories it will always end
With tales of my mind running wild
So as I play a Melody on my flute to drag you further in
Will you listen to your people's warnings
Or will you remember your promise to be my friend
Oh Hero, I wish you knew what I know
As for many lives I've watched you come and go
You're stuck in a loop of a big adventure, boredom, and death
Only living your life to protect the kingdom till your final breath
Does it ever get tiring, does it ever grow old
Do you ever feel tempted to run and break the mold
I wish it were so, as some of the trees that I pass
Give reminders to memories I wish could've last
However, here I sit, stuck in the Lost Woods of Faron
Despite how many Kokiri pass, constantly wandering as children
Until, one day, after exploring with Tatl and Tael for a while
Here walked a man, with a bag full of faces and a quite large smile
Now, of course I messed with him, could you blame me, I was curious
But when I finally snagged a face, I remember becoming furious
I was furious you didn't remember, that you didn't know you forgot
So when I saw a chance to have fun with you, I went ahead and took a shot
After all, you still smelt like the fairy boy who taught me that song in the woods
I was sure the way I was, I would be able to win, I didn't think you could
But in the end, that's over and done with
There's nothing more in this forest that's amiss
The Grove of trees is still sacred, just like before
And when the tree leaves rustle, they still sound like a roar
So once again, I sit in my spot, playing that funny song
That you had managed to play for me, before everything went wrong
And in this new life of yours, you now tiptoe around wood that's rotten
Nevermind having time to think of strangers you've met and forgotten
Don't forget about the loved ones, that you've also had to cast away
So now as you near, I'll ask you one final time, do you wish to play?
Author's Note: I'm thinking of making both Twilight Link's and Michael poems and adding them to this one but I'm not quite sure yet. Either way, it might happen. I also didn't really intend to write Skull Kids poem last night but I just had inspiration for it instead of TP Link's poem all a sudden. Anyways, I didn't have much to say. I hope you liked it! Thank you for reading!
