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.
