combustion
June 9, 2015
My body is composed of rapidly-combusting carbon compounds
When I encounter oxygen, I implode
And emit water and carbon dioxide and heat
I am exothermic
I release heat instead of kind words or empathy or positivity
Because of this, I am dangerous
A system that transfers energy into its surroundings
Can do nothing but hurt
It is best to stay away from me
