Uncontrollable Tics Poem by Jesse Pickens

We live life in fear of the unknown, Scared of the inconsistency and judgmental ways of this world, what if you literally could not help the actions you committed, and instead of living life day to day you must live by the second, like a NBA team in triple over time.. shouts, screams, eye twitches galore, muscle spasms threaten the people around you and potentially yourself, everyone looks at you as if you were crazy, as if you were a character in a Stephen King novel, People with Tourettes Syndrome are often down on themselves, like fallen child stars, but I hope each and every person living with Tourettes knows they are the model example of bravery and give us all hope for the future, I feel sorry but also anguish for all the people who laugh and pick.. they don't understand the fight of living life.. with Uncontrollable Tics
