The argentinian kisses me on a beach in tulum.
CHELSIE DIANEThe argentinian kisses me on a beach in tulum.
CHELSIE DIANEAncient shamans asked the sick one question only when did you stop singing?

CHELSIE DIANEI found my old diary tonight. A brokenness I had forgotten pen pressured so deep it punctured page. I ran my fingers over my words and there inside ridges black I found a little girl desperate for someone to save her, desperate for the very woman I have become.
CHELSIE DIANEMy entire life I’ve waited for a man to teach the world how to treat me and if he’d step in and convince them all.
CHELSIE DIANEMay my children never read this.
CHELSIE DIANEIt finally happened like I thought it might I run into you.
CHELSIE DIANEWhen I reached for what I wanted, they said I left my needs behind. But if all birds need is on the ground why then do they fly?
CHELSIE DIANEYou loved me gray sweatpants and I loved you drunk on stouts and I am velveeta mac and cheese.

CHELSIE DIANEGo fuck yourself.
CHELSIE DIANEOh the salt water I had to sweat to realize there was an ocean inside of me.
