The Name ‘Nafest’

It was a surprising moment earlier today
when that idea came in
about using the name ‘Nafest’
because of the feeling that this is ‘The Best’.

I have known about two people
fictitious and not
whose nickname contains the first half of their name
while the other is something significant to their fame.

I can honestly say that my real name is ‘Nafis’
but what if the nickname is then ‘Nafest’
where ‘-fest’ as in ‘festival’?
It gives me the image of a ‘Lively Carnival’.

I feel like...amazing,
Just to think and associate myself with it
even though I haven’t started it yet,
It is a vision that I want to get.

I guess that a part of me
wants to embrace the Poet’s Side
and let go of the Joker’s Side completely
without using ‘Joker’ directly or indirectly.

It is a real thought
even though I never heard if the name ‘Nafest’,
Not even once in my life;
It just might make me feel...alive.
