Autobiography in Five Short Chapters

Here’s a beautiful little piece written by Portia Nelson

I

I walk down the street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I fall in. I am lost…I am helpless

It takes forever to find my way out.

II

I walk sown the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk,

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.

III

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I see it there.

I still fall in….it’s a habit.

My eyes are open, I know where I am.

It’s my fault. I get out immediately.

IV

I walk down the same steet.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

V

I walk down another street.
