Bipolar Disorder Awareness

Description

Edit: I changed the background colour from white to black. I think it stands out a little more this way.

This piece is for Bipolar Disorder awareness.

The picture is the chemical symbol for lithium, the number-one drug used to treat bipolar disorder, because it targets both mania and depression and works as a mood stabiliser.

The words are symptoms or feelings associated with being bipolar.

This is my second typography piece, and was fun to make.
An hour in MS Paint.

Sweet Lithium Lithium whispers sweetly in my mind
It takes away all of the conspiracies,
The voices and the alibis
Lithium softly holds the shape of my skull
Lithium is gently pressed against my lungs
Lithium, lithium

Smooth plastic cups
Of psychotropic drugs
Swallow (down)
On a numb
Medicated tongue
What day is it again?
The Novocain of
Lithium, lithium

Nurses blur with their syringes
Antipsychotics and anaesthetics
Their hands are full of
Sleeping drops
Like bright gold
And lithium
The soft alkali silver

Waves of pain and madness
Drowning me
In colours from a deep dark
Heightened reality
Voices whisper in a blue sea
They lift me like
A drop of snow,
