I walk down the street

There is a deep hole

In the side walk

I fall in

I’m lost, I’m 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 side walk

I pretend I don’t see it

I fall in again

I can’t believe I’m in

The same place

But it isn’t my fault

It still takes a long time to get out

I walk down the same street

There is a deep hole

In the side walk

I see it is there

I still fall in it,

It’s a habit

My eyes are open

I know where I’m

I’s my fault

I get out immediately

I walk down the same street

There is a deep hole in the side walk

I walk around it

I walk down another street.
