I walk down the street, there is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I fall in. I am lost, I am hopeless. It takes forever to find a way out.
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 the same place. But it isnt my fault. It still takes a long time to get out.
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I see it is 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.
I walk down the same street. There is a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it.
I walk down another street.

Wrapped in neglect."
