Definition: Tourette Syndrome
There it is. Something I most definitely do NOT want to have. Especially since I always related it to coprolalia, the use of inappropriate language.
Because I do NOT do that. I do NOT:
What do I do?
I do NOT want this, but they really think I do...
It has of course its fun sides. I look playful and dancing, always ready to jump from that wheelchair to run on stage and dance. This is true and I'd like to do that. I have my poems, and my slam poetry I composed for performers. It is a wish of mine to perform those myself.
Quite a number of my poems have a certain rhythm and cadence, and are created to be performed on stage, with or without music. And I know that when I am singing I do not stutter, isn't that something great? I also throw off my incredibly painful shyness on stage. Don't ask me why, it happens.
So, stuttering, Tourette (or not) and shyness: GO
I will one day stand there and perform
I will flap my hands and they think I will fly away
And that is what I will do. Sing, dance, and fly away, fly away
Far away from reality.
They think I have Tourette.
I sigh and say: IT'S ON! COME AND GET ME!
It's just one more label, there are many labels attached to me. I give them Pride-tags and places of honour.
It is not who I am, what they say I am is not WHO I am.
I am ME
I smile at you and challenge you to interject me
I will inject you with my borderless optimism
Come join me and feel good
I will create a poem for you
One you can dance on
Let's dance together

Because I do NOT do that. I do NOT:
- Swear
- Curse
- Scream
What do I do?
- I have tics around my mouth
- I have tics around my eyes
- Throw my head to the back
- My hands sort of 'flap'
- My arms flail, I am often black and blue
I do NOT want this, but they really think I do...
