Autobiography in Seven Short Chapters

One
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 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.

Three

I walk down the 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 jump in...it's an escape.
    I know where I am.
    I did jump in!
It is my fault.
I get out willingly.

Five

I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I jump in...I can change it.
    I know where I am.
    I can't change it.
It is my fault.
I get out knowingly.

Six

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

Seven

I walk down another street.
