I Never Thought...

Follow the leader,
Duck duck goose,
I never thought I'd tie a noose.

But here I am on this wretched day,
The rope is worn,
The cord is frayed.

Long ago,
We played those games,
And sang little songs with similar names.

But those days are long gone,
And the clock is ticking steady,
Holy shit, I am not ready.

Everything freezes,
And the room is still.
Why did I swallow that one last pill?

The games are over,
The day is done,
I will no longer be having fun.

Follow the leader,
Duck duck goose,
I never thought I'd tie a noose.
