    I BET

    I bet when you first see me twitch
    you will start to think I am a freak
    of course, you will think I am that geek
    who can only manage a  squeak

    I bet the second time you see me twitch
    your hand will start to itch
    it will  itch so hard
    that you’ll swear to dump me into that ditch

    When I twitch for the third time
    you'll stare at me like I’m committing a crime
    but can't you see that I'm the victim
    and  you are tormenting me all the time

    You start screaming and yelling
    as my twitches and tics get ever annoying
    you start picking on me
    ignorant of  the pain you are causing me

    But if I tell you I've Tourette’s
    do I still need to hide in my silhouette
    away from all those I fear to upset
    and live like a fish trapped in a net

    Well, let me tell you this
    I will survive all this
    I am no weirdo or geek
    For I am indeed unique.
