Am I Me

How does it feel to live life with a heart that doesn't beat.
Resembling a zombie walking emotionlessly down the street. 
Remembering when I stood with pride as I stand on my feet. 
Now I crawl along the ground trying to not admit defeat. 
Doing my best to push on embracing everything that my parents taught me. 
Yet I always seem to build myself back up with parts that are faulty.
Only thing I've been good at is making mistakes. 
Regardless of how I try to do whatever it takes. 
So now I live life numb to how I feel. 
Sadly I became this way, chasing something that's wasn't real.
