Autobiography in Five Short Chapters - 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 isn't my fault.
It takes forever to find a way out.

II.

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 a long time to get out.

III.

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, and I know where I am.
It IS my fault.
I get out IMMEDIATELY.

IV.

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

V.

I walk down another street.

Someone handed this out at a meeting I go to Thursday nights for people walking through getting out of abusive situations. I SOOOOO could relate!!
