I am stuck in Chapter 2 I believe....

Autobiography in five chapters

Chapter 1
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.

Chapter 2
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I pretend I dont see it.
I fall in again.
I cant believe I am in this same place again.
It isnt my fault.
It still takes a long time to get out.

Chapter 3
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I see it is there.
I fall in..it is a habit.
I know where I am.
It is my fault.
I get out immediately.

Chapter 4
I walk down the same street.
There is a deep hole in the sidewalk.
I walk around it.

Chapter 5
I walk down a different street.
