Tic, tic, tic<\/p>\n
They keep coming,<\/p>\n
one right after<\/p>\n
another…tic.<\/p>\n
I can’t stop them.<\/p>\n
I can’t hold them<\/p>\n
back to where I<\/p>\n
started at a<\/p>\n
stand still.<\/p>\n
Breathe.<\/p>\n
Relax the muscles,<\/p>\n
sore from the<\/p>\n
movements are back.<\/p>\n
A swing…<\/p>\n
and a miss. Swing…<\/p>\n
this one hits<\/p>\n
an uncushioned bone.<\/p>\n
“Hey!” “What?” “Hey!”<\/p>\n
Yelling and blurting.<\/p>\n
Sniffing and stomping.<\/p>\n
I’m not in control,<\/p>\n
like my brain has<\/p>\n
backfired…again.<\/p>\n
They’re sudden like a manic<\/p>\n
episode is over.<\/p>\n
Back to a<\/p>\n
stand still postion.<\/p>\n
Aching and tense,<\/p>\n
it’s good to be<\/p>\n
at a stand still.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
