J Word Jerky

My Functional Movement Disorder Turned me into a performer. My body becomes jerky, And I move quirky. My arms move spasmodic, Onlookers may think I am neurotic. But I am not foolish or silly, This disorder will not kill me. So if you see my jerks, Know they are now my quirks.

I have learned to laugh at it. I call it my funky neurotic dance.
