Max's Story - Normal like you
Part 6
"Let me just start by saying this. I love my sister more than I love myself. She's my blood, we're twins for goodness sake. She a part of me. At first I didn't really notice the change, but soon I did. Than as quick as it happened they took her away. They took my only blood away from me, mind you because Isabel and I are adopted. Well, I went into a depression, they put me on medication. It stopped working after a while. I mean, it didn't do anything for me."
they said you called me maybe yesterday
i don't even have the strength
to pick up the phone
you wouldn't even know me
since you went away
the prozac doesn't do it for me anymore
"I had stopped taking it after that. I stopped listening to the people who told me to take my meds. Why would I listen to them? They weren't in the pain I was in. They didn't know what my life consisted of. They didn't know what it was like to have your sister there one minute, then gone the next. They wanted me normal."
you ought to
take you medication everyday
be a good dog
live life in a wonderful way
"I started writing letters to my sister. She never replied. But I wrote them. I asked her stuff. I asked her why she was the way she was? Who made her the way she was? Who did what they did to her? When she was gonna come home and be my sister again? When she was gonna wake up? Why she wanted to be the way she was? She never replied though."
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
i get closer
to the place inside where i can be normal too
"They finally decided that I needed to be intitutionalized also. They stuck me in the same place they stuck Isabel. I would hear the doctors talk about how she was crazy, that there was no turning back for her. I couldn't understand why they didn't realize what was happening to her. She wasn't sad like they thought. She was just depressed and stuff. Not sad though. And she walked around dressed one way. Mascara and black. They actually let us dress the way we wanted. At first anyway. She would walk around all high and mighty. Like she owned the land."
i heard those stupid people
talk about you again
i just have to laugh to keep from hurting bad
their simple minds just cannot seem to understand
you are neurotic and despressed
it doesn't mean that your sad
you walk around oblivious to everything
you wear that party dress and black mascara
like you're queen for the day
"I started asking her the questions I wanted to know, to her face. She never answered them though. I would always respond though. Telling her that she wasn't the normal Isabel I used to know. Telling her that I could never be like her. Telling her that I loved her and that I wanted my sister back."
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
i get closer
to the place inside where i can be normal too
i will never be normal like you
"She ignored me though. Just like everyone else. She stopped walking like she was high and mightly too. She walked slowly and with soft steps. I don't think my words were helping her. And slowly, yet surely, I began to understand why she acted the way she did. What had happened to her. Everything."
you walk around oblivious to everyone
i see you walking slow and simple
underneathe the big black sun
tell me why
you want to be blind
i don't want to be
normal like you
i know now
everyday
"I started trying to find the place that my sister's mind resided in. I wanted to be with her, at whatever costs. And soon, soon I was getting there. They began treating me exactly the way they were treating her. Putting me on lots of meds. Messing with my head. I thought I was going where my sister was."
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can be complacent
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can sedated
"I thought that I was getting closer to becoming like my sister where I didn't need the old one to return. Where I was happy with the way everything was. Happy with the way she was. I was getting really close."
i get closer
to the place inside
where i can normal like you
where i can be normal like you
maybe normal like you
"And in the end. I ended up on almost the exact same drugs, the exact same symptoms. I was the same crazy as my sister. I was like her and now, I don't really think I need my old sister back, although I think she deserves to be her old self again."
i can be normal like you
"Well, thank you for telling me the entire story Max."
"Your welcome, although I don't really see why you would want to hear us."
"She wants to get inside our heads, move a few things around and make us all better, right?"
Kathleen turned and stared at Maria. Perhaps she was the one that Kathleen woudln't be able to reach.
"No, that's not what I want to do at all. I want to make you all normal again."
"I was never normal. You can't make somebody something they never were."
"Well, Maria, why don't you tell me why you were never normal."
"No. I don't want to tell anything about my past. My past, is exactly that. MY past. You cannot fix me. I'm untouchable. Like I said, I'm crazy. It would be a big waste of your time to even begin to try to fix me. You'll never suceed, so just give up now."
Kathleen sighed. This was not the way she wanted any of her kids to act.
"Well, will anyone else tell me their story, I really am in the hearing mood. Perhaps the faster I hear your stories, the faster I can help you and let you go."
"Let us go?"
Kyle asked.
"Yes, let you back out into the world, away from the mental institution."
"We get to go free?"
"If I can get the right diagnosis."
"Well, I think I like that idea."
"You gonna tell me why your here?"
"Yea."
"Well, then I'm all ears."
