Falling into a Hole

I read and wrote this down a few years ago, and have recently thought about it a lot more.. It is clearly something that I need in my life right now:

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 my way out

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 am in the same place
But it isn't my fault
It still takes me a long time to get out

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

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

I walk down the street.
