Application For Membership

You were asking
earlier:

Floating In a pool 
by misadventure.

Slowly drowning 
in vomit, your own.

Chasing horses
in a seedy hotel room.

A busted heart
in a busted bathtub.

Hanging in a garage
beside your automobile

A twenty gauge
wrapped in your arms

One last Vodka shot, 
to end the pain.

These are some ways 
you can join the club.

There are many more;
you can be inventive.

May I ask your age?
Twenty-eight you say.

My apologies, sir;
you exceed our age limit.

Not specifically to each - I didn’t follow them closely and only know a few songs from a few of the names in other writes for this contest :)
