James West Poet Free verse

Reflection Mindset

I I’m constantly rehearsing 
On my versing 
Never sliding or swerving
My Rhymes play
Like a wordsmith
I’m Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult
Remembering to stay humble
And claim my guilt and my fault
The Wisest Man once said what’s the use
If there’s no saltiness to salt

This is that one bullet left
Kinda thinking
I only got one shot
I’m either swimming or sinking
Addicted to pain
But no longer drinking
Writing is my addiction
Because I’m constantly thinking
Gotta type what I’m writing
Gripping That pen tight
had my wrist sore
Like I’ve been fighting

Carpal tunnel from Brilliantly inscribing
All the feelings that I’ve been
Jekyllin  and Hydin

I shine bright like broad daylight
All up in your face
Like eyesight
Wisdom is what I’m speaking 
Like my foresight is insight
Creatively blessed
I think it’s Divine Inspiration 
Have patience
The rise of a champion
Inspires inspiration 
What your running from
Is what you should be 
Standing and facing

Anxiety in my mindset
Had my feet pacin
Heart racin
Use to have that Flash point anger
When I’m feeling any type of frustration 
Now I’m patient
Not trying to get so upset
That I’m keeping doctors with patients

I’m a scholar of the World
But I found Faith
Not Religion
Religion is a construct
Used to keep us all in division
But Faith is a mindset
Of making Disciples
it’s truly addition
Listen, 
those that are lost
Are the ones missing
And I’m sayin it’s still our mission
To be Fishers of Men
Because Jesus did use the profession
Of men that loved Fishing

To spread The message of His Ministry
Hook line and sinker-
I’m just a regular man
Who is an incredible thinker
I’m just trying to share the Light
I’ve been Saved by Grace
A man in my position 
only wants others to be saved
Who  wouldn’t want to speak on life
So Rage-

Rage against the dying of that Sacred Light
There’s a time to win 
A time to lose
A time to hold on for dear life
This is a double bladed knife 
Strife on the left hand
Every reason worth living for
And Salvation for those that walk upright

I believe if it’s not right
Then just don’t do it
If you go through it
You will have to pay the price
When it comes down to it 
But if the shoe fit
You should definitely be careful 
With How you walkin 
Keep wisdom within your mouth
So your tongue does
No negative talking
An ignorant man is one who stays balking 
At the application of knowledge 
To a life where he’s falling
Stumbling along blind
It’s amazing to have two perfectly good eyes
And still find yourself blind
Living out loud 
Like it’s possible to buy time
All those who refuse truth
Are only living their lie
And I sigh... 
they Living 
and feeling insecure neurotic and emotional
But go ahead  
Just say that your fine 

The Bible says the Lord
Is the Beginning and the End
I don’t want to find out that I haven’t begun
When I finally meet my end

Because A tree that is mighty 
Can withstand the fiercest storm
But in its unassuming ignorance 
 It ends up yielding 
To an enemy of a lesser form
So I stay alert like
Someone pulled the alarm
Weapons will kill you
But sometimes words will do more harm
Stay informed 
And be forewarned 
You cannot be cold, but hot
Not lukewarm

We came to be the season of the Earth
It’s a tragedy that this generation 
Doesn’t even know it’s worth
And it’s gonna take work
To get things to a point in which they work
It’s not the building that you go to
But The body of believers 
That constitutes the Church
Preach Pastor! Preach!
Is the chorus in the Church
The Lord says you will find Me
If with your heart you search.

Any man that seeks 
Surely will he find
And any man that knocks on doors
Surely They will open in their time
But seek and knock
While it is still yet time
The Kingdom is coming
And you don’t wanna be the one 
Whose Left behind.
