Life's A Twitch! Celebrating 15 years.

age 12, but with the wisdom of an 80-year old! Keep the faith, Scott!


Life With Tourettes

People can't see It,
They don't think it's real

If only I could tell them,
The way that I feel

It's way down deep inside,
Not wanting to hide

But if it comes out,
I just want to shout

When I do my tics,
It feels like stabbing me with toothpicks

But holding them in,
Is worse in the end

Waiting for this to stop,
I feel like I'm going to drop

Some look at me and say,
"Just let him be"

But I would like it if
You would understand me

The pain is REALLY REAL,
But friends still don't know how I feel

God has a purpose,
What I don't know

God has a purpose,
One day it will show.
