Unstoppable, Incurable and Unfair
by Daphnée Belle Dubouchet-Olsheski

Everyday people stare at me,
Waiting for my moment of insanity.

I go under the desk and try to hide.
It’s uncomfortable to keep inside.

I yell bad words and jerk my head.
It doesn’t go away when I’m in bed.

It’s like a yawn or a sneeze.
Kids don’t understand, so they tease.

Don’t people know we’re born this way?
It didn’t just happen yesterday.

It’s unstoppable, incurable and unfair.
Why do people have to stare?

Even though I have a tick.
Doesn’t mean I’m very sick.

I’m just a normal kid like you.
I like boys and movies, too!
