Sleepwalking

I'm sleepwalking 

through life.

 

I've fallen into a cycle

of unconscious existence. 

 

Sometimes I try so hard

and end up failing. 

 

I beat myself up when 

I don't meet my expectations.

 

So I've just given up;

now I lead a comatose life.

 

My heart is in a dormant state

to avoid the pain. 

 

My motions, involuntary,

my feelings, numbed.

 

It's better to live this way

than risk the hurt.
