Extraordinarily winter jest
As a youth licking metal fence post constantly;
Treated for iron overload given Exjade;
Beyond what is ordinary or usual:
Exothermic, exothermic change So exothermically:
Exothermal my tongue burns from the frozen heat
Froze bite reaction releasing heat this is what I get for placing my tongue on the fence gate
Exultant
So exultant am I joyful and proud especially because of triumph of success;
Marked by great joy or jubilation; triumphant.Oh!
No more am I metal mouth

Enclosed in a case by my thoughts,
tired of living in seclusion ;I want to explode,
Yet, I live in the captivity of my will power.
Afraid of freedom of unrestricted tongue so as
not to be sent into the abyss of darkness
by the corrupt ignoramus claiming knowledge and power.
Yet,I suffer in silence.
I want to be free like the eagle,
hovering round mountain tops and valleys;
but,fear binds my two hands,
Yet,it burns in me like a volcanic magma.
even if gates are opened and I`m
surrounded by beautiful floral,
I will still erupt...exothermically,
but,freedom seems like a mirage.
So,I remain in the captivity of my will.
