::narosis IS NOT neurosis::

For those who don't know... narosis is (ALMOST) a homonym to neurosis
let's all pay attention PLEASE!!!

neurosis (pronounced new + rōsis) |n(y)oŏˈrōsis| noun ( pl. -ses |-ˌsēz|) Medicine a relatively mild mental illness that is not caused by organic disease, involving symptoms of stress (depression, anxiety, obsessive behavior, hypochondria) but not a radical loss of touch with reality. Compare with psychosis . • (in nontechnical use) excessive and irrational anxiety or obsession : apprehension over mounting debt has created a collective neurosis in the business world.

narosis (pronounced narrow + sis) is nothing to do with the above definition. Narosis is actually a partial acronym which makes up my pseudonym / nom de plume / nom de guerre /stage name

Nat. Afame Rican Online + SIS (taking just the capitol letters you get) narosis which is who I AM & nothing at all to do with a mental condition, some may pronounce them the same, but guess what that makes them homonyms!

Nat. = Native

Afame = Af + Ame

Rican = the latter half of African as well as the latter half of American

putting it all together

narosis = nat. afame rican = native african american = native american (Sioux & Blackfoot) + African American

Class Dismissed

What's in a name?
It took me 30 or more of my almost 40 years to like my Given Name of Lorenzo. What's in a name? Lorenzo B. M. is who I was born & Nat. Afame Rican = narosis (nom de plume / nom de guerre) is who I was born to be! Nat. is from native, Afame is from the two words african + american and looking closely you can see where the Rican comes from. So it breaks down to my ethnicity = native american + african american. [Maternally there is Sioux, Paternally there is Blackfoot.]

Narosis breaks down as :

N - nat.
A - afame
R - rican
O - online
S
I
S
the "sis" is actually a typo which I never corrected as it was to be "sys" for systems
but due to rushing and liking the way it looked visually I kept the "I" rather than the "Y"

What's in a name? It's my pen & stage name and how most recognize me and how I look forward to being known & remembered....

Just Not Me
Just Not Me magnify
nope not in the corner with the light out
face not drawn up not about to pout
not sitting here negotiating self doubt
not hating on someone else's talent & musing clout
that's simply not me

it's not to myself whom I've lied
it hasn't been destiny kicking me after I've valiantly tried
It's not like me to look to another to have one inspire
the desire to spit venom & fyre
that's just not me

it's not me to love and not be real
it's not me to conceal how I truly feel
nor am I one to play games and give constant chase
time heals all wounds and even allows love to fade without a trace
but to sit and worry about it... that's just not me

Downpour
the sky grows dark
the air becomes crisp

clouds form where there was once tranquility
first it is but a light and bearable drizzle

with a blink of an eye lightning illuminates   
the sky briefly for as far as the eye can see

next reverberating through the air comes
thunder like an angry parent scolding a child
 
the downpour begins as if the a water main
has burst with what seems to be an endless supply of precipitation....

after hours of lighting randomly repeating the storm
dissipates from whence it came

sad to see it go as it was like a companion telling me
a fable chasing away the loneliness

(Just one more) Heartbeat...
so will greatness come after I've taken my last breath,
will recognition come long after death
for those who want to know
it's not too often I let emotions flow
I love you all deeply from head to toe
each & every one a blessing to bestow
to my family & my people whose faith I pale in comparison to worth ,
maybe next time I'll live a proud life if blessed by rebirth
If blessed & given another chance,
just a fleeting thought, a wish at best, given second glance,
victim of this life and circumstance
and then you wonder.... who, what, and why
am I non-fictional or fabrication and lie,
this gives me cause to pause as I wonder why
yes I often wonder why each foul thought meets defeat
happy to experience breath (as my) mission (is) not yet complete....
happy for one more (just one more) heartbeat...
