Living with Tourette syndrome is not an easy adventure. Growing up in an age of ignorance for this disease caused turmoil, anguish, and hardship, to say the least. Through poetry, the author tried to capture the emotion and passion connected with this disorder, to help bring about an understanding of what Tourette syndrome is about, and that the path to freedom goes through the cross of Jesus Christ. May those who read be surely blessed.

Poems of Love, Forgiveness, and Living with Tourette’s Syndrome
Gregory John Nashif
.....
For years, I just kept talking to myself; feeling sorry for myself. “Why me? Why do I have to be burdened with this horrible thing called Tourette Syndrome?”
Tourette’s is not fatal, although I did think at various times, how much easier it would be just to pack up my bags, and hitchhike to a land of peace and joy; a spirit land with no pain or suffering, no noises or tics, twitching or shouting. It was all Psych-Illogical to me until 1970, when I accepted Christ the Lord into my life and began a journey to salvation, hope, peace, joy, and redemption.
