My mother wonders why I tick When I never did before Tick I don't tell her that I tick Because I am more stressed now Tick I was late this morning My mother said, "Don't worry" Tick My schedule was off My schedule was broken Tick I don't know why I tick now I used to try to stop Tick But now I feel like a clock I am a tick without any tock Tick It helps calm me I suppose The numbered noises Tick The patterns help soothe The panic inside Tick Every time I try not to tick It moves louder to my mind Tick I have started to accept The tick that runs my life Tick Someone touched my things I don't tick right away Tick But when I go to get them That noise begins Tick Louder in my mind until I start ticking out loud Tick "What's wrong?" Nothing Tick The tick is faster Someone stares Tick "What's wrong with you?" More pointed questions now Tick Nothing is wrong Tick I will fix it Tick I'm fine Tick Tick Tick

Tick
My mother wonders why I tick When I never did before Tick I don't tell her that I tick Because I am more stressed now Tick I was late this morning My mother said, "Don't worry" Tick My schedule was off My schedule was broken Tick I don't know why I tick now I used to try to stop Tick But now I feel like a clock I am a tick without any tock Tick It helps calm me I suppose The numbered noises Tick The patterns help soothe The panic inside Tick Every time I try not to tick It moves louder to my mind Tick I have started to accept The tick that runs my life Tick Someone touched my things I don't tick right away Tick But when I go to get them That noise begins Tick Louder in my mind until I start ticking out loud Tick "What's wrong?" Nothing Tick The tick is faster Someone stares Tick "What's wrong with you?" More pointed questions now Tick Nothing is wrong Tick I will fix it Tick I'm fine Tick Tick Tick
