Lost and confused, he found a path. He followed it like the yellow brick road Looking to find the wizard of Oz For his one and only wish - HAPPINESS. Yet, the yellow brick road he followed Only led him to a path of self-destruction; Because along the way he discovered distractions To numb the pain until he found the wizard. Until he found happiness. He found comfort in those distractions Which quickly turned into addictions. Now he is stuck , In the middle of that yellow brick road . Because the distractions he discovered along the way Were destroying his soul; one bottle of ***** And bag of **** at a time. A part of him has given up on finding the wizard. So he indulges in his own self-destruction; stuck on a path that was meant to save him. To save him from himself.

Self-destruction
Lost and confused, he found a path. He followed it like the yellow brick road Looking to find the wizard of Oz For his one and only wish - HAPPINESS. Yet, the yellow brick road he followed Only led him to a path of self-destruction; Because along the way he discovered distractions To numb the pain until he found the wizard. Until he found happiness. He found comfort in those distractions Which quickly turned into addictions. Now he is stuck , In the middle of that yellow brick road . Because the distractions he discovered along the way Were destroying his soul; one bottle of ***** And bag of **** at a time. A part of him has given up on finding the wizard. So he indulges in his own self-destruction; stuck on a path that was meant to save him. To save him from himself.
