Lithium

These voices

They tell me

To light a match

Go set fire

To everything



Parasitic thoughts

Infesting my brain

I’ve lost my mind

Walls close in

I’m screaming



“Help me”,

I can’t do

This on my own

How will I

Survive, alone?



These voices

In my head

They just won’t leave

Will not let

Me go



I can’t

Break free, just

Can’t let this go

I need my

Lithium, please



Cant deal

With the voices

There’s nowhere to hide

You took away

My safety



I’m not

Addicted to the

Carbonate or the Citrate

It calms my

Mania, shame



I don’t

Want a life

Without my true saviour

Anything is better

Than emptiness



Please help

Me Lithium, don’t

Fall out of love

With me, I’ll

Do anything



Don’t lock

Me up alone

Im fine with my

Lithium, safe, strong

Together, sane



I need

To be able

To fly away full

Of clarity and

Hope, please



What is

Wrong with me?

Why can’t I just

Be sane, normal?

Don’t go



Can’t cope

With this pain

Can’t cope without my

Carbonate and Citrate

Not fair



You can

Not expect me

To live without you

I will not

I will
