I am not hot

by @ges

I am not hot Hot is a bowl of soup or a fresh cup of coffee I am not hot If you touch me will I burn you? You’d think an English major would have wider vocabulary Hot is not romantic hot is merely a weather forecast For this forecast is expecting thunder if you call me hot again But hot is what you settle for Hot is what you say Is hot supposed to make me swoon In some romantic way? Hot will sexualize and demise my self worth Because hot is not me It will label my beautiful with a 50% off sticker And it will place me on a pedestal and shine spotlights on my bare body Yelling slurs from below me and taunting my every move Hot is not hot I am not hot
