Drop of Sand

I'm not who you think I am anymore,
The nights when I just lie here on the floor,
The scares on my wrist not just to feel,
But to remind me that I'm also real,
The pain I get while looking you in the eye,
I sometimes wish I would not wake and die,
No one notices when I'm not around,
You don't even realize when I frown,
The day you ask yourself why you don't care,
Will be the day that I'm not there,
And when you sit and ask yourself,
You will see my picture on the shelf,
Wondering what you did wrong,
You'll realize that I'm gone,
Maybe then you will understand,
I'm not just a drop of sand.

    My daughter

    Steph, I just want to say that you are so much more than a drop of sand to me. I know that I am a shitty mother, well maybe not as crappy as I think, cuz look who you are today, I have to be doing something right to have such a wonderful daughter. Listen, I know that you have your secrets, everybody does, and I have mine as well, but using again is not one of them. I know that you dont believe me, I could hear it tonight on the phone, and having this issue between us hurts more than when Tony used to accuse me. You are my everything Steph, I made you a deal remember, you tell me if you are or have been cutting, and I do the same about using. I know what truly lays on the line here, sure I think about it on a daily basis, but I think of you and your sisters more than you think. I know I get frustrated and bitchy, but I am only human, without you guys I have nothing. I will not risk that chance. For anything!

    I love you StephanieAnn.

    Love your mom
