Eliot M, 8th - Bethesda, MD
I am a joke (to laugh at)
I am a meme (to share)
I am a faker (to claim)

I have Tourette’s

No, I am not possessed
And no I’m not doing it on purpose
It’s not anxiety
It’s just how my brain works

It builds up
Like mentos and coke
It wants to be let out

I am not popcorn because I Pop
I am not dangerous because I Hit
I am not sick because I Sniff
I am not confused because I Shrug
I am not afraid because I Flinch
I am not a bird because I Whistle

I am a human because I feel
I am not diseased because I’m different
I am loved because I am me.
