Analyze This: Jacko is Wacko...

By: Kelvin Christie




I walked in his room inpatient to see him for the first time. He looked in to my eyes with great understanding, in which I had confessed to myself I could learn a lot from him. He instructed me to have a seat upon my entry in his office. With such confidence and assertiveness in his voice it was as if he knew I was weak in my knees. This man Dr. Frank I will vow is normal or maybe a genius. His intellectual capability is far beyond of those who condemn me mad. If I can just be like this man Dr. Frank, I thought to myself.

He seated himself in his seat with his hand holding his chin, in a very intriguing manner. I told myself to dismiss the thought of me using his same jesters in my seat. He opened the conversation by asking question I enjoyed answering, very easy question. But it was funny, I opened a great deal to this man, Dr. Frank, and he didn’t even begun to open on the same page. Dr. Frank is just like the other normals, the rest of the world that’s not crazy an introversion thought came to me.

I closed him out my mind for he knows too much, there must be a reason why he, Dr. Frank, wants me to talk, and he keeps quite while I pour out my soul in his office? My mother was right when she use to say you have to play fool to catch wise, That is what I am going to do to be wise as Dr. Frank.
Dr. Frank’s looks are always confident, he told me to take two magic pills and a glass of water, and he will see about me going home. He is such a wise man. He knew I already learned something from him to take with me in the world. I can tell mother can’t call me crazy any more.

My next visit to Dr. Frank office I was glad to see him. I new if I was normal this visit I could return to mother. I sat down with just a welcome in his room. I wonder how did he felt, when I have just seated myself like that in his office with just a how are you. Did I try to compromise his Intelligence? Yes I tried. Surprisingly, he was trilled by my manner towards him.

Right then, I knew I was going home. At the end of the session he told me that I have came a long way since I been in his nutshell, the pills must have been working. Then he turned his head, like a sale men who just found and potential customer, and asked, “How do you feel about going home”. I was like a young child inside that had gotten his very first birthday present for the time. I told myself to contain my feelings, or I will end up ruining everything. So I just said ok not to let anything look suspicious. He looked and said great your mother is here to get you.

When I was at home I walked with my head high, high for the fact that I am not crazy. But who can tell me I am crazy? I have been studying to become normal and Dr. Frank said I am better. Wait until I concur all of what I need to know about the normal man. For I would need neither another pill nor teaching of Dr. Frank.

My big brother entered my bedroom ruddily with a lot of commotion. Rubbing my head like how you would rub your pet dog head to give it a little affection. I stepped back and gave him some space between both of us, to see what was really on his mind. A fool of great incompetence my eyes preconceived him. Who am I to judge? That is all he wanted to learn from the world, however, when I disrespected Dr. Frank he perceived me normal.

At dinnertime I told my mother she should learn to cook with a lot less salt, because she is killing me with it. My big brother had gotten defensive on her behalf, yelling as if he is the one who placed the bread on the table. “Mother send Kemar to the hospital, for he is waltzing with the loony birds”. My brother had gotten so angry he slapped every breath in my lungs to the left side of the table.

My mothers immediately attacked kemar because of his behavior at dinnertime, by physically beating some sense in his head. But Kemar was the head of the household; you just don’t just disrespect the head of the house like that and think every thing is fine and dandy. Kemar started making it pellucid, how he have been the one always watching over me and himself and she had the audacity to hit him like that in his face. You should have heard how he used his vocal to get his point across.

Mother with a very sad and disappointing voice started screaming, “This is how you repay after all I have been through with you”. With anger and shame she repeatedly beat Kemar over his head with the base of her folded palm. She had beaten him in his head until he had gotten some sense in his head to shrug her off him and leave, with her lying on the floor crying.
What can I say, but humanity lives in denial and want total control over everything they lay their hands one. That is why mommy wanted Dr. Frank to help me to become normal, it a cold world out there and in here. For a broken jaw for the fool who doesn’t respect the one with the biggest arms, for I can’t out speak you I will over power you.
My mother denial is that she thinks she can just leave the house under Kemar’s rules and regulations and think it won’t be that way when she returns. But who am to judge what was on her mind? I smaller but I own this house and it shall remain that way. Who cares what you think?

With all this catastrophe leads me thinking back when I was always pushed around by Kemar, and mother always gave him the right for what am I smaller than he. So what makes her think I should shed any pity for her? You have no right to think you should have control over someone if you don’t want any one to control you. You think I am crazy yet? I yelled I hate you and ran to my room.

I had think quickly before I was the next one she attacked in the house. Go to your room before she hurts you were the thought. If I am in my room she cannot get to me. Then I will have every reason to protect myself form any invader.
She came into my room with tears in her eyes, just like the ones that were in her eyes when she was fighting Kemar, and asked what was the matter with you, Paul. I had to think quickly and cleverly to come out a winner. I went straight for her neck, but ashamed to say she was much too strong for me. She pushed me away like pushing pencil shaving off your school deck.

I ran down strains to get the biggest knife that was in the kitchen draw, she followed behind me. With great speed and conning thinking I won the race to the kitchen. Pulled out the knife and point it directly at her. She paused. Thinking of something to say to get the knife out of my hand. But what was really funny is she think I am not way ahead of her.
She is considered to be normal, but look at how they are so easy to be fooled. She thought she could’ve just come up stairs and get to hurt me just like Kemar, but my wits was far beyond hers. Foolish me had forgotten to close my room door; anyway, everything happens for a reason. She would have tried to kill me when off guard. Yes, quick thinking gave me the upper hand.

In the middle of the execution were kemar’s keys in the door. I guess he is back to finish what he had started. That means now I have to worry about both of them trying to kill me in here. Quick thinking knowing mother was much stronger than I. I told her to sit in a corner, in which she did.

She screamed out to kemar, and said call the police it’s Paul he has gone mad again. Kemar was much to big and brave for that, for I am a little stain he can get rid of. He told me to give him the knife, because I don’t have an idea of what I’m doing. If you think there is anything this imbecile can tell me to put the knife away? You need to get your head examine.
He started approaching me step by step to keep me somewhat calm to obtain the knife. Now this is a mad man walking to his own grave. Just to put his hands out and take the knife and to give a sentimental hug. A stab to the kidney, abdominal, and his neck took care of the overgrown crops.

A mad woman, with madness on her mind, started yelling and ran into the knife I was holding. With mind full of confusion I called the police and reported the deadly accident. For I think something is wrong with me, and I don’t know what it is your honor. I am not guilty your honor.
