Why is my closet a safe haven?

My closet is a good thing.

I turn a corner and step into darkness.

It is an old janitor's closet that smells.

It has no purpose- no name.

It is the perfect place for me.

My closet is a good thing.

I agree to stay after school,

It's shaping up nicely.

I do a bit of work every day,

The first thing to go is the mirror.

My closet is a good thing.

I sneak into my closet after school.

I can't face the school bus.

I've been having trouble sleeping at home.

The closet is warm, I doze off.

My closet is a good thing.

I head for my closet after school.

I leave the door open – I am trapped with Andy Evans.

I read around a triangle of glass, I hold it to his neck, he cannot speak.

The world is a dangerous place,

But my closet is a good thing.
