Please Tourette’s let his body have some peace tonight.<\/p>\n
Please Tourette’s, let him just lay still for once.<\/p>\n
Please let him know a state of relaxation, a place of calm predictibility, just for a moment before he goes to sleep.<\/p>\n
Won’t you take a break, for just a while — so he can take a break for just a while — before you resume your endless control of his body?<\/p>\n
Or better yet, how about you leave forever, and take the bullies, and starers, and whisperers with you, and let this one be free?<\/p>\n
Yes, that I would love to see.<\/p>\n
