James Ryan White Poem
Ok how do I do this
Where do I start
I can't remember much
But I love you with all my heart
To tell you the truth I'm really lost
I've relied on you for everything
You tried to give me the world
All I've given you is pain
Here's a shocker, I still need your help
Help me remember things
As I search for self
You and me, we've always been close
I love you so much
I'm trying to love God the most
I owe you much more than I could ever give
You've always loved me
No matter what I did
You're a great woman
Thank you for all you do
When I read Proverbs 31
It makes me think of you
I made you a promise
I won't stop until it's done
God bless you Momma
Love your Prodigal Son

James Ryan White Poem
In a world so cold and grimey
Thank you for your grace O Lord
When I was lost thank you for finding me
I rebelled but then you reminded me
You are the only way my life will work
After I rode all the rides to hell
And got the t-shirt
I wanna thank you for Your Son Jesus Christ
Thank you for His instructions
On how to live life
Thank you Jesus for dying on Calvary
All the money in the world
Couldn't match that salary
Thank you for an ear for me to understand
For giving me hope when everyone doubled me
In you Lord I know I'm a better man
Jesus You The Man
I wanna spread The Word and The Truth
You're the light of my salvation
God I'll go to war for You
So when it comes to the time
When Satan thinks he can take a stand
Allow me to bust him in the head
To let him know I ain't playing
I wanna tell you thank you Father
For healing a broken heart
Also that I'm sorry Father
I didn't listen from the start
For I was blind but now I see
So God please don't lose favor in me

James Ryan White Poem
Going through changes
Hoping my mind rearranges
Street life and gang banging
At the dope house hanging
See that was all I thought I knew
Really it was what I wanted to do
Tears falling from my momma's eyes
And as much as I hate to see my momma cry
I still fell victim to street life
Looking for love in all the wrong places
Late night and fist fights
Strange familiar faces
Resulting in court cases
I didn't think anything was wrong with me
Then it dawned on me
My twenties was lost in prison walls
Breaking rules
Making unauthorized phone calls
My son don't even know me
He's eight years old
Missed all eight entirely
I realize I have problems
That's the first step
Now I need to solve them
So momma keep praying
I know God hears you
Because my mind's rearranging

James Ryan White Poem
Can you tell me where you are
I've traveled long and far
Just to find you
Might I remind you
You're the one
The one I've been searching for my whole life
Nights, they pass by and you're still not there
All these happy people it's just not fair
But are they happy
Or are they still searching
Love lurking, living a lie
Because they can't find
The one inside their mind
Like there is mine
Pause for a second....now that's pathetic
Love without love, I can't accept it
I wanna live like "The Notebook"
A movie where real love overtook
Overtook a love that was just a front
Comeback with a sequel just to stunt
So if you are fake you can find the door
Because real love is what I'm looking for

James Ryan White Poem
Vultures flying high
Circling in the sky
Preying on the victim as they pass by
Vultures being metaphorical
Wishing that you had an oracle
Hold up, this might be too real
You know something you won't, can't feel
Foes outweigh friends and friends hold nuts
I'm giving it to you raw, straight drop no cut
First they find your grind
Don't be blinded by these vultures
Circling around manipulating your mind
Cause they all coming at the same time
Before you know it, you done lost it all
Reminiscing on days where you used to ball
But nobody wants to hear that mess
To make it out alive consider yourself blessed
So leave the drugs and the streets alone
Or end up dead or be sentenced to never coming home
Stay away from the vultures
They only wanna see you die
They'll eat you up and won't say good bye.

James Ryan White Poem
My nights been lonely since the day you left.
My days been lost and a wondering mess.
A sad face I can't help to portray.
Feeling like my angel is far away.
I try to keep you close in my dreams.
It's not enough, my heart still screams.
Screams because it's broke and hurt.
I found, then lost my diamond in the dirt.
I reminisce on the last night I held you tight.
I'd give anything to have you in my sight.
That's right, anything to hear your voice.
My first choice, now and forever.
Even in my dreams there's no one better.
You're the one I truly adore.
You're the one my heart yearns for.

James Ryan White Poem
As darkness begins to surface
Feeling hopeless even worthless
What's my purpose?
In this there is no happy ending
Feeling lost from the beginning
Life full of un-accomplishments
Never receiving any compliments
Who's got room for a lost soul?
Tell me!
I'm at the bottom of the totem pole
Doubts too heavy I can't carry this load
Give me directions!
I'm trying to get off this long dark road
No end in sight, searching for light
All I see is night
Tell me, Is there any hope for me?
Surely this ain't the way things are suppose to be
But apparently
I'm a wreck and I'm talking about emotionally
I just dropped a heavy load as I proceed to walk
I turn around and it's my body outlined in chalk

James Ryan White Poem
Some might say I'm crazy
When I look at her picture
I say " that's my baby!"
I miss her
When I don't receive a letter from her
Feeling like we've been together
Where's my letter?
I'm ready for the real thing
Tired of this mail game
Crazy brain
Hoping she feels the same
Am I mental health
I don't think so
Maybe by the world's standards
But they don't understand us
Real is real
And this is how I really feel
She told me that she like that
I give her real
And she gives it right back
I'm longing for her presence
I don't care what people say
Longing for her essence
Hoping one day
That I can hear her say"Hey Baby"
To heal my sad heart
That I've had lately

James Ryan White Poem
When you think you have it all figured out
You wanna take another shot of life
But it's stout
Went into the world and it was all the same
You quickly realized you didn't change a thing
That's the problem
When you think you know it all
Quick to speak and not to listen
First thing you did was fall
Ready for the world uh?
Close your mouth and pay attention
Back to step one
This is re-admission
Be silent, that's what The Lord say
Be patient, you'll get it one day
Man it don't happen over night
Oh, your way or no way
That's got you no where right?
Your way don't work for you
Go ahead and quit
That's what you always do
You don't think you can make it
Or should I say take it
You're full of pride
At least you don't fake it
But if you keep working at it, you'll be alright
Pray about it
Every day and every night
Don't reject people trying to help
Oh, I get it God
You wrote this for myself

James Ryan White Poem
Ambushed by demonic thoughts
Talking about sinful nature
Trying so hard to do the right thing
Sin you sound so good I can taste you
You're even trying to change the way I write
Alright, back to normal
Which is abnormal
Which is absolutely me
So sin flee from me
Why you always coming back?
With trained skills and a master attack
Sometimes I feel like you're too much to handle
But I refuse to be scandaled
Long candle, keep burning
It's hard, I can feel them churning
It just dawned on me
I can control you and it's my move
Checkmate thoughts, you lose
And I know you'll be back
Just know I'll be ready for that
Though you seem to be a tough opponent
It's up to me if I dwell on it
