I wrote a Poem:

Hooray!

There are no mountains to climb - Just millions of tiny mole hills.
There are no years to compleate - Just one day, repeated over and over.

The first thing you need to know is that for as long as I can remember I have had a phobia of public toilets. I was probably molested in them when I was 4 and have suppressed the memory’s. I always try to avoid seeing other people in them at ALL COSTS.
