Allison Lyons Poems

One day you're going to wake up and realize that you should've tried
I know it's hard right now and that can't be denied
But use your aggression and pain as a guide
Please just get out of bed
...

Your kidney is failing but you keep drinking
My heart is caving but silent I'm remaining
It's like you want to die I'm just trying not to cry
It's awful that you can't even put down the bottle
...

Dear Men,
I hate you
Not because I know you
But because you're a man
...

Last resort
Some might say I'm overreacting
But the pain I feel deep with my chest is not at all relaxing
With this in my mind I've tried and tried to give it time
...

The family fridge holds
More than magnets
More than pictures
More than memories
...
