Autobiography In Five Short Chapters
CHAPTER I

“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 me forever to find a way out.

CHAPTER II

I walk down the same street.

         There is deep hole in the sidewalk.

I pretend I don’t see it.

I fall in again.

I can’t believe I am in this same place.

But it isn’t mu fault.

It still takes a long time to get out.

CHAPTER III
I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the side walk.

I see it there.

I still fall in…it’s a habit…but,

my eyes are open.

I know where I am.

It is my fault.

I get out immediately.

CHAPTER IV

I walk down the same street.

There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.

I walk around it.

CHAPTER V

I WALK DOWN ANOTHER STREET.

"How vain it is to sit down to write when you have not stood up to live." Henry David Thoreau

Here I am standing. I'll be back to writing after a bit of living. (Do you hear that? Yep, it's my family cheering and doing a 'raise the roof'.)
