Teddy Bear Comfort

I once had a teddy bear,
he was my best friend,
when I struggled physically
with tics that wouldn't end.

I would hold my teddy bear
as tears flowed down my cheeks,
all the miserable twitching
had gone on for weeks.

I had no real control
over what was ailing me,
my head would shake rapidly
from pain I wanted to be free.

I would talk to my teddy,
he could hold himself still,
then finally I found comfort
taking a simple little pill.

I found out about Tourette Syndrome,
my misery had a name,
now that I was diagnosed
life wouldn't be the same.

    wow

    I really like this! I feel the same way sometimes. I get comfort from my teddy sometimes too. His name is Casey. Good Luck!
