Four walls
A sink
A place to relax
A place to think

A bathroom
With safty
The place that saved
My sanity

The nights I couldn't take it anymore
I'd go close the bathroom door
Shutting the world out
But not daring to shout

Turning rage to sorrow
That couldn't wait for tomorrow
It helped me find a piece of myself
That seemed hidden on a high shelf

So I say thank you, little place
You helped keep my secrets safe
