Parkinson's
It starts with a twitch
 
 Do you feel it?
 That small, harmless twitch in your hand
 Do you remember?
 Where you last saw your keys; on the counter
 The hands of time slowly ticking
 The Ghost, the force within
 Slowly grabbing hold
 Slowly adapting to your body
 As you struggle to raise your own hand
 Frozen.
 Heart pumping, pupils dilated
 Can’t move, no longer under your own control
 The Ghost within has taken hold
 A new place for it to call home
 
 It starts with a twitch
