The man that had no skin could sense everything, because all streamed in:
Others' Thoughts, sensations, germs, viruses, bacteria, flies and people’s emotions.
Everyone thought he was miserable
and at time he thought its better for him to be invisible.
But one night he had an insight : he said – “I’m alive. I’m connected. I am fortunate to have a drive.
There is no border between me and the world,
No reason to be curled.
If I don’t take things to my heart
And let things just flow from the start.
I will be a pipe of energy and that’s all
I don’t need any wall.
That my karma, that’s my call.”

Thanks for scaring ! Love you for boxing outside the think BRIAN XOX Thanks for your comment on my Fusion ~ Please check my Poem EAT HEALTHY ~ LIVE LONG ~ Thanks B XOX
Dear Brain do u know what is a metaphor? a man without a skin is an over sensitive guy...everything is sensed with no borders, so he changes the approach and perspective and attitude and perception... be well
