About The Skin You’re In
One has thin skin.
Feels the slightest touch.
Notices every nuance.
Contemplates
Introspects
Comprehends
Is painfully aware
Of everything.
Thin skin
Has no shield
Problems overwhelm
Like torrential rain
Criticism singes
Like an acid burn
Flashbacks pervade
The mind never at rest
One feels weighed down.
Another has thick skin.
Fazed by nothing
No worries
Blissfully aware
Of nothing.
Thick skin
Is like armor.
Deflecting hostility
Retorting without emotion
Content to be aware
Of nothing.
Thin skin
Or thick skin?
Which skin wins?
Neither extreme
Is healthy
For everything
There is a proper time
Tune in, be concerned, and get involved?
Or chin up, move on, and put it behind you?
Follow your heart
Listen to your mind
But be guided by Torah.
Chumash, Navi
Gemara
Pirkei Avos
The stories they contain
Are no fairy tales;
They are blueprints
For how to live.
Really good!
all your stuff.
great piece! Thanks for sharing
About the skin you’re out of.
Slither like a snake,
Out of the old skin,
It was old and wrinkly anyway,
Like Rabbi Shwartz’s smile http://www.theyeshivaworld.com/coffeeroom/topic/inshidduchimcom-is-that-the-jewish-way/page/2#post-467748
