'Cliche' Poem

Why is it that I don't close my eyes,
to sleep in the quiet of the night?
Every other night I wish for the sunrise,
waiting for that every morning light.

Why is it that when it does come,
that I have no energy to stay strong?
Life shouldn't be this way,
I shouldn't be depressed this long.

I can feel it in my body,
when I try to work through the day.
How I yearn for that freedom,
Just to be able to work and play

Life truly seems like an awfully long journey,
that I chose to ignore at this moment,
But I do fear for the day,
When I do regret to those whom I had forsaken

Why is it that I can't learn to see,
What lies right in front of my sight?
To let go of that heavy burden upon my shoulder,
And to enjoy my life fill with joy and pride.
