It’s so hot in here,
it feels like my body is melting
into liquid.
It’s so hot in here,
it feels like I’m giving myself a welt.
It’s so hot in here,
it feels like I bathe in lava.
I don’t know if I will ever feel the coolness of my house again,
the coolness of my fan,
the coolness of the air conditioner flowing all over the rooms,
the coolness of the rain
that drops all the way down
from the sky to the ground.
It’s so hot in here,
it feels like my body is melting
into liquid.
I don’t know if I will ever feel the coolness
of my house.
Now that I’m here,
I don’t know if I will ever feel the coolness
of who I want to be,
who I need to be.
