Following is a beautiful piece of poetry that was anonymously submitted to the New Jersey Center for Tourette Syndrome. The author wrote it in 1989, when they were a teenager with TS.<\/em><\/p>\n

Nobody seems to ever understand,<\/p>\n

the painful things I feel.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what’s inside my head,<\/p>\n

or ever if it’s real.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what it feels like,<\/p>\n

to constantly feel confused.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows how sad I feel,<\/p>\n

when I feel that I’m being used.<\/p>\n

Nobody knows what it feels like,<\/p>\n

to be afraid to go to sleep.<\/p>\n

The far of never waking up again,<\/p>\n

the fear of sinking so deep.<\/p>\n

Maybe someday they’ll find the key,<\/p>\n

that unlocks the mystery of my mind.<\/p>\n

From that day on I’ll finally be free,<\/p>\n

and happiness will be mine.<\/p>\n

But until that day, nobody knows,<\/p>\n

the feeling of being me.<\/p>\n

Maybe they’re not looking had enough,<\/p>\n

maybe they just can’t see.<\/p>\n
