Try to sleep

I try to sleep at night  
I try to close my eyes  
I try to rest my mind  
But I have lost the fight  

Tossing and turning in bed  
I can't seem to sleep  
I just want to rest  
I hope and I pled  
 
I want to be free from this pain  
I want to be okay in life  
I want to be a simple man  
But instead I go insane  
 
All alone in the dark  
I'm trying to survive  
I'm trying to hold on  
I just need a spark  
 
But instead I drift away  
My memory it will fade  
All the mistakes I made  
I don't know what to say  
 
I'm locked in my cage  
I don't see a way out  
Stuck living the same way  
Lost and forgotten on the page

Author's Note
I don't sleep well so I wrote a short poem about it. It's about how I feel so it isn't going to be perfect.
