Piece of writing I stole from somewhere!

I want to encorporate this writing into a piece of art at some point so I thought I would share it with you anonymous readers out there on the big www! I dnt know who reads this if anyone but maybe this will show you my world - the blog I mean, not just the writing! I want to be honest and to use this blog as a healing tool - where I can learn from myself - and yes possibly others! anyway on with the writing!

AUTOBIOGRAPHY IN FIVE SHORT CHAPTERS

By Portia Nelson (thank you - whoever you are portia)

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 don't believe I am in the same place but, it isnt 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 there.

I still fall in... its a habit, my eyes are open

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.

I suppose we could all learn from this poem about how to move forward and learn from our experiences - where are you on this path? think about it! I don't know where I am but I suspect I am at II or III.
