You can hide from
the rest of the world
BUT
You can't hide from yourself

Deal with it

I have become
A master at hiding
Smiling just enough

Yet, looking closely
The eyes never lie
The pain; hurt, sadness
All there to see

When the world is
Upside down
I  graciously help others

My undevided attention
Intently listening to
Their problems

So, I don't have to
Share my feelings

Have  you ever noticed
When somebody asks you
"How are you "
they really don't want
To know the TRUTH

Hiding in plain sight

We have become
a society of disconnect
Interactive  on-Line
without physical contact

Journey
of self

we always
move in the
same
direction

as our most
dominant
thought

Think about it

There are times
when I'm a
scatterbrain  

Other times
my thoughts
are crystal-clear  
profound thoughts
come to me
at the oddest times  
Perhaps
this is what happens
when I  
multi-task

What does it  say about us?
What do we show people ?

What do people speculate; see, decree
is that the real inner  me?

Screaming words over joyed
People interpt
My reputation destroyed

Out of control
Anger all to see
Gone crazy would people agree

Unconsulable
The death of a family member
Will People understand be tender

Sometimes our emotions
get the best of us
Yet, do we understand why
emotions happen so deeply
Perhaps that's why we are so uniquely

Have we become
a victim of ourself

Anger and fear
Laughter love so dear
Live is trying to teach us
Do we listen ,Do we here

What do we show Society
Should it matter or
just get over our anxiety

In the end does it matter
what people think  

Let yourself off the hook
pour yourself a drink


I am on a quest
towards
inner journey
to self

Live
What makes us
who we are ?

And let live

Accept people
for who they are

Find Peace

Do not try
to make people
into whom you think
they should be

Love
with every fabric
of your being

Quick to forgive
Slow to judge

Laugh
Until your belly hurts

Rejoice
Live life to the fullest

journey to self
enlightenment

my poetry grows as I do
CJ Sutherland Oct 2017
I am a lady
Filled with
****** Sensation
Fluid
Flows freely
Sensuality grows
Sexuality shows
As rapid as a hummingbird's wings
As silent asthe flowers of spring
I Blossom like a fragrant garden
Waiting
For the right man
To plant
Desire
The seed
Of anticipation
Mounts
4-11-2005  The start of spring brings many emotions

Dear Daddy,
Do you know what these men say to me?

With their
eyes and their mouths
when I walk on the street.

With a grin and a nod
and a look up and down.
A wink and a kiss
and a cat call heard from downtown.

With my skirt short
and my top
low,
It’s a cold world daddy
and no
doesn’t mean no.

Daddy do you know
how these men look at me?

Like I’m a piece of meat
strutting down the street?
With my head buds in
and my favorite song on.

I’m asking for it Daddy,
I’m in the wrong.

Do you know how it feels
not to wear what I like?

To walk a little faster
when I’m alone at night?

Daddy the world is my predator
and I am it's doe,
Daddy what happens
when I can’t say no?

How ridiculous
I have been
Playing on observance
yet; blind to reality
relentlessly searching
for what I seek
not knowing
why
When contentment was
within my grasp

Impetuous , Impatient, Demanding
Aching For Fresh Meat
Stocking, salivating  
Only to want, then

Imagine ,Dream ,Fantazize  
The Sensation  
To Devour  
Flesh

Man
A Supreme Being is Nothing
In the wake of a Woman
Hungry, for more
She
Allows His Touch
Come into my parlor said the spider to the fly
*** in the 80s
Who is hunting who
