Ticcing.<\/p>\n
Imagine having no control.<\/p>\n
Of yourself, your muscles, vocals:<\/p>\n
You fling your limbs or scream aloud,<\/p>\n
And everyone stops to stare.<\/p>\n
Trying your hardest to suppress the urge.<\/p>\n
After what seems like hours,<\/p>\n
You realize it’s pointless,<\/p>\n
And you tic.<\/p>\n
People point and laugh,<\/p>\n
As though they’re watching a clown.<\/p>\n
Causing you to want to flee your town.<\/p>\n
They don’t\u00a0— and never will — understand.<\/p>\n
You feel like a fish out of water,<\/p>\n
Flopping around with no control.<\/p>\n
This is what it means to tic.<\/p>\n
And this\u00a0— is Tourette Syndrome.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
