I have Tourette’s. But my Tourette’s isn’t me. It is an entirely separate entity that takes over my body with no warning or reason. This entity is named Ted. Ted the tic. Ted is rude. He tends to turn up without an invite and then outstays his welcome . Ted doesn’t have a filter. He doesn’t know when enough is enough. When he’s exhausted me and should probably back down. But Ted doesn’t care. I am stronger than Ted. He’s actually very weak you see. He acts as though he’s far stronger, and sometimes I start to believe him. But then I remember that he doesn’t control nor define me. However, I’m stuck with Ted for the long run. Almost like family, but that really annoying aunt that won’t back off, yah know? Ted won’t win, I will. - VI -

Ted
I breathe in until I feel like my lungs might explode. I tighten my neck muscels and before I can think - My entire body is tense. I'm trying to supress it. It has ruined so much but I will not let it ruin another moment... I grind my teeth trying to supress it further, not realizing that grinding my teeth ... was a tic too. Letting my mind slip for a second; I come to find that I have failed - once again I flick my head, blink my eyes violently - turning the day into a stop motion movie - Once again I already know the plot. Everything is moving in slowmotion around me - my body moving too fast to hold it in I fail - once again my body is dancing to a beat that is not mine. I feel the pain in my neck. It is sore from giving into the neverending urge - once again it is strained from constant twitching and has been for god knows how long. I try to ignore the pain and focus on supressing what's coming next, but being distracted by the pain I fail - once again I flick my head and exhale as fast as humanly possible. The exhale doesn't come alone - it never does. A pallette of sounds escape my mouth. It was not me making those sounds, but the lungs affected by the pain are mine. I feel the cycle starting over - once again. It goes through me like a wave of energy. I have been robbed of the control over my own body - once again. The power to fight back has ... vanished. I go to bed early but sleep late; battling this force with every shard of energy I could possibly have left - Once again leaving me exhausted enough to finally sleep, despite the constant twitching. They say it's a chemical imbalance in my brain. Too much dopamine is released. As far as I'm concerned dopamine is a "Feel good hormone", so why does it make me so miserable? I lay here thinking about when this cycle will end? And when it finally does end, when will it restart? - Once again...

Tic Attack - Once again
I breathe in until I feel like my lungs might explode. I tighten my neck muscels and before I can think - My entire body is tense. I'm trying to supress it. It has ruined so much but I will not let it ruin another moment... I grind my teeth trying to supress it further, not realizing that grinding my teeth ... was a tic too.

Another word gets lost in my throat, Ravaged by the blindness That my heart conjured up. All I can hear is the devil Whispering into my ear, Saying “just one more” amidst the white noise of a room of a hundred people. Every letter starts dissolving Into my coffee, Slowly drifting away into the meaningless impulse. My lungs are congested, Carrying all the lust I smoked. There’s a black plastic bag around my head, Defying all the rules of the universe, Making sure that I see nothing But numbers and words and Whatever you call that is. Whatever you call that is. Whatever you call that is.

That Guy Is Making Weird Noises
I twitch I shout Without thinking I move I make noise I don’t have any control I **** I yelp Without thinking I flick I whimper I never had control I jump I yell Without thinking I twist I scream I’ll never have control

Control
When things are always going wrong you start to lose faith. My faith in God is waning. A God who loves his people, wants them to live, to be happy, a loving God, would let so many horrific things happen. He let my heart be shattered. He made me autistic. He made me with Tourette’s. He let my parents fall out of love. He took my best friend. I’ve lost faith in the god of deathless death, pain, loss, and oppression.

There is a spectrum I am now part of That I do not fully understand An authority on the whole thing Rubber stamped it, and **** Now I'm on the spectrum There is a spectrum I am wanting to be That I wish to God I could stay in The place where creativity and high intelligence Meet and mesh and produce with no end But the spectrum is long and slow at the end And high and fast at the beginning And I am merely stuck somewhere in the middle Always wondering and panicking about where

The Spectrum I Can't Understand

Tics, Twitches, Tourettes
You are ******* amazing! Great to hear from you so soon! Even better to grasp a part of your humanly self. It’s ******* amazing! It makes me feel like a ******* human! All ****** up in this existence! Of relationships I sail in an electric and magical connection one that never radiates. The dreams we had are not impossible.... not plausible. Let me draw the graph for you. The pie charts aced in cycles….. an assortement on the menu. Yet with you, there is a need to sit on your wing and soar above the skies a high. A part of me wished and wished. I feel this place with you is not only a mind **** but a **** ****  On humanly reality lets jump on the coyote and feel the essence and touch the dreams. Welcome to the memoirs of  my voidness and shitness. Relationships **** with a responsibility and expectations we lay on another human being. Yet, I smell your scent and forget to sneeze.I drawn to you as a bee is to a pollen. You are wow, a soul that wakes the goddess. I am truly hooked to this journey you traced.... **** ME! Of Consumption Your consumption makes you look like a narcissist. That elongated padlock you hang on the door.What in the world makes you think that I can’t understand you? Yet when one meet another like one, life changes dramatically. A heightened feeling of belonging. I lay enchanted by the ecstatic energy that is  over and ever-rising ..... am I ****** up or what? I shine your light, our light.Are you an angel or just a sheep with the devil's eye?The universe happenings HUH! Of you Cry the ******* tears and never stop being you. You are you. There is no need of sugar coating or hiding your existence, your uniqueness. Masking your concrete and your vulnerabilities.Roll your **** and I will get soaked in mine, keep the sinking quarry to yourself. Root oneself as the ******* string evokes. **Of Pain... ******** No one ever planned for the hurt..... it's **** and it's life. **** the ache…… embrace the joy of the universe. Life in it's intricacies is a mystery. Then I am like **** Society tells us that one needs to be owned but I reject that notion…. Totally. Thanks for the openness! The warmest escape and embrace by a stranger. Somedays my logic ticks and ticks, then the doubt preys. I question the stream of differences. We creep as we fill the lines..... love and transmute! ...So Long.... What am I doing here acting like a baby who needs ***** changing….. **** this typing Tourette’s.  **** The warrior hearts will fight through. The love they found, the visions stormed, the wall and obstacles we face. Keep shining the light as if a heaven guardian. The love is in the patterns, the dreams.... Be sure that this love will be hidden in a sacred place! Get a grip because I will always ******* love you...... ******** Just fly and **** off, J

Beat Beat back the urge Beat it back to the Stone Age You nerd! I got a motor mouth A mile a minute It's a song and dance But I'm not in it Bite Bite your lip Fool yourself into thinkin' You've beat it I got a tigger finger No gun to pull A fragile headstock Lost my cool I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space You can keep it down for a little while But soon enough you'll be forced to smile Keep Keep your cool Keep it locked up tight One rule I got a worn out shirt It Never fits right I shift my shoulders Under the lights Make Yourself do better Make it all go away It's the weather I'm a bit twitchy Don't touch me I need you to love me You're so far above and I'm so far below I'm losing control and it's just not enough My nerves are aching to just get rough I'm worried what happens if I'm in freeze I get up the itch and I need a release There's so much to manage to do and to say My mouth is just in the way I'm tic tock tic tock tic tock tickin away I'll blast off like a rocket into outer space You can keep it down for a little while But soon enough you'll be forced to smile
