Where is the teen poem Heart of Teflon by Brittany?

hey I'm Melissa Brittany's sister i am not sure where it is but i can give it to you:

heart of Teflon cold as stone

built up from the years of being alone

layer upon layer until there was no room

i no longer hear Jesus trying to get through

he called out my name but i did not reply

i was unaware of the time that was just passing by

i felt like this was it it was done for me

but i knew in my heart i wanted to be free

layer upon layer he chiseled away

by the love and acceptance shown each day

instead of a heart of Teflon cold as stone

i have a new life

new family and new home.

Why don't a gecko's feet stick to teflon?

A Gecko cannot stick to Polytetrafluoroethylene (a.k.a. Teflon) due to the plastics resistance to Van Der Waals forces The oil will disrupt the vander waals force that allows a gecko to climb. Plastic is made from oil. Why do gecko's feet stick so well? The the vander waals force unique form by seta, tiny hairs that have spatula shaped tips. Water increase this power and oil will stop it. I saw a gecko slip on a human leg and couldn't believe it. Must of had oily skin?
