Ryan

This is a poem written by Ryan from Newfoundland, Canada. Ryan and his mom are "on a mission to educate everyone" in Tourette, and want to share these thoughts with all of you -- THANK YOU GUYS!! Enjoy...


"Me" Poem

I am the only ME I AM
Who comes to school each day
No ME I AM can leave my house
In such a happy way.

I am the only ME I AM
Who thinks the things I do
No Me I AM can see my life
The way I struggle through.

I am the only ME I AM
Who's different than the rest
No ME I AM can know my strengths
I always do my best.

I am the only ME I AM
Who is a loyal friend
No ME I AM can know this truth
Tourette is not the end.
