Autobiography in Five Chapters by Portia Nelson
One
As I walk down the street,
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I fall in.
I am lost….I am hopeless.
It isn’t my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.
Two
I walk down 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’m in the same place.
But it isn’t my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.
Three
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I still fall in….it’s a habit.
My eyes are open.
I know where I am.
It is MY fault.
I get out immediately.
Four
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk round it.
Five
I walk down another street.
