Peril

I know peril when I see it
medicine when I need it
though you don't agree, it is true
the way you see it
there's got to be more to it
to sanity before you lose it
if you want life, you must choose it
want love, then don't abuse it
offered help, don't refuse it
when you're actin' like a douche
your depression don't excuse it
and if I ask ya to scooch
on over you do it
I rue it
the day I lead you to it
but the way that you said thanks
I shoulda known
you'd joined the ranks
of the ones that were like me.
