Ken Carroll Poet Free verse

Alone and Tired

Show me
how to live again

Alone
I am soulless

A hobo
without a home

Lone bird
flying to nowhere

Sleeping
not in love
with loneliness

My lovers
are the sky and moon

Dark of night
demons stroll

light of day
angels sing

in between
I am alone

Tired
of being alone

Tired
of being empty

Stuck

Wishing
I could start over

Tired
of faking it

Just tired
of being tired...
