Moving on -Autobiography in 5 chapters

From a book by Portia Nelson, from SARKS's "Inspiration Sandwich" - Autobiography in Five Short Chapters.

Chapter 1

I walk down the street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I fall in.
I am lost... I am helpless
It isnt my fault
I takes forever to find a way out.

Chapter 2

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidwalk
I pretend I don't see it
I fall in again
I can't believe I am in the same place
But it isn't my fault
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I see it is there
I still fall in....it is a HABIT
My eyes are open, I know where I am
It is my fault
I get out immediately

Chapter 4

I walk down the same street
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk
I walk around it.

Chapter 5

I walk down another street!
