Life In the Crapper

I hide my shame where no one can see. And know that they could not understand me. I wear my guilt behind closed doors. And hope they will never find me. I purge the torment out of my mind. And pray that that's what will help free me. Look in the mirror, I see myself. But the image there only cheats me. I try to cleanse myself of these thoughts. But somehow it always defeats me. So, it's back to the crapper Joe goes! The only place I know to relieve me.

Did you mean to put the word (that) twice? on the line starting with "And pray", other than that I like it!
