Sometimes

Sometimes it feels like it's just within reach
Sometimes it feels like it's so far far away
Sometimes it feels like this is it right now
Sometimes it feels like it'll never be the day

Sometimes I feel so filled with joy
Sometimes I feel like I'll always be alone
Sometimes I feel like I'm so happy I'll explode
Sometimes I feel sadness like I've never known

Sometimes I think that tomorrow will be a better day
Sometimes I think that it's all just a cruel joke
Sometimes I think that it's all coming together
Sometimes I think my dreams all went up in smoke

Sometimes all I want is to be left alone
Sometimes all I want is to have a woman's love
Sometimes all I want is to scream at the world
Sometimes all I want is to thank God up above

Thank you God, for everything.

Your son, Rev.Norman L. 'Pete' Morrison

Memories Of Me

You used to be so alone
You never let anybody in
Never used believe in love
Maybe you never will again

You finally let someone inside
Thought you had a partner for life
But all that slipped away
Now you doubt you'll have a wife

You never liked to smile
Most days you still don't
Maybe you'll find what you're looking for
But you still believe you won't

You always built up your hurt inside
You never would let it out
You finally let God take all that rage
But once again you're full of doubt

You never felt like you fit in
You were meant for a different age
You never would talk about these things
You always wrote them down on the page

Drawing, painting, writing poetry
How you always dealt with your pain
For a few years you thought you had it all
But now only the memories remain

You gave and gave of yourself
Maybe you let yourself get used
But now that it's all said and done
Once again you've been refused

Now you sit and wait and wonder
Who you were and who you will be
At times you can't stand to look in the mirror
And face all of those memories of me

The Big Empty

You used to love life
You used to live free
You used to be so true
But it all turned to deceit

You once had a heart of gold
You once made people smile
But you hardened your heart
And your virtue you defiled

You were once so full of life
But inside now's an empty hole
The meds became your idols
The addiction took it's toll

You try to fill the void inside
So you won't feel so odd
Fill it with the trinkets you buy
Now money's become your God

All of your decency you sold
For the price of your next fix
Anything to get you by
You fall for Satan's tricks

High on false happiness
Spinning out of control
Gold and money and drugs
The only price was your soul

The hole inside becomes a monster
It's hunger is never sated
Your life's purpose is to feed it
Or to keep it medicated

You forget everyone around you
Everyone you've ever known
All frosaken for your demon
And now you find yourself alone.

You once were so beautiful
Blessed with an angels grace
But now it's all begun to fade
And the pain is written on your face

Now all that was is gone
You're still left feeling hollow
Now you've left your legacy
So sad for those that follow
