I wake up         head ****         shoulder roll         tongue click I get ready for school         head ****         head ****         groan I get on the bus oi whimper I put on my headphones arm **** People stare        oi I suppress They build The minutes drag on         Like an itch they can’t be ignored The bus can’t go fast enough They’re pushing up We arrive at school They’re going to escape I run off the bus They begin to explode head **** arm **** I distance myself from the students oi arm **** head **** head **** groan tongue click tongue click whimper They stare shoulder roll arm **** shoulder roll whimper oi oi Everyday I tic and twitch

Tics, Twitches, Tourettes
I wake up         head ****         shoulder roll         tongue click I get ready for school         head ****         head ****         groan I get on the bus oi whimper I put on my headphones arm **** People stare        oi I suppress They build The minutes drag on         Like an itch they can’t be ignored The bus can’t go fast enough They’re pushing up We arrive at school They’re going to escape I run off the bus They begin to explode head **** arm **** I distance myself from the students oi arm **** head **** head **** groan tongue click tongue click whimper They stare shoulder roll arm **** shoulder roll whimper oi oi Everyday I tic and twitch
A homage to my everyday struggles living with Tourettes Syndrome. Tourettes is a chronic condition where you have involuntary movements and make involuntary noises.
