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.
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
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
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
I see a small hole
I fall down for a while
I finally figure out
I have lost in the middle
And it is time to fully recover
From my mental pain
It doesn’t work
Time has slowly slipped by and by
I sometimes laugh and sometimes cry
Thank you flying time
To bring myself back at last, and
I look forward to coming home,
meeting someone I desire, and
pursuing higher education
in one of my dreamlands!
