I want to be me

I want to be hot
I want to smell sweat and cheep vodka 
Cigarettes and Victoria secret perfume 
Cheeks burning red 

I want to be known
Sit with a stranger on the roof 
Talk for hours, fall in love 
I’ll never see her again

I want to be reckless
Lose my favourite lipstick
Scream too loud and not regret it
Not care about tomorrow 

Hot, fiery, heard
Free, loud, crazy
Loved, raw, true
I want to be young

I want to be me
