You’ve asked me to explain my name,
So I’ll attempt to try.
It’s more than just a name to me,
And here’s the reason why.
It speaks in cryptic, rhyming voice,
On sight for all to see.
If they should choose to see my soul,
And know what’s plaguing me.
It speaks of darkest thoughts within,
Embodies what I do.
It gives me strength performing works,
Unknown by those who view.
It gives me life and sings my songs,
Awareness raised through art.
It helps me do what I must do
In life to play my part.
It shows I have a sense of fun,
I’m not afraid to smile.
To laugh at life’s ironic twists,
And scribe my thoughts a while.
It tells of voices in my head,
You see, I'm schizophrenic.
And that is why my user name,
Is simply ‘Fritz O’skennick’.

Now the light bulb went on in the dense fog of my brain about the meaning of your user name duuu.

And of course this is only a small part of you
You are so much more, and a great friend 
I love this write, it flows with ease and grace across the page. Such a shame you couldn't add a song to this, would go great with my fave Fractured Persona 
A beautiful write

Perfect! I can relate...I loved the explanation...you are a charming poet. The best words come from places quirky and mysterious. I love the name and adore the poet! People often tell me my poetry seems to be written by different people...yeah well it is...they just all happen to live inside my mind! Thanks for this insight...it was most enlightening!

This is excellent. To me, this is the winner of this contest. Perfect rhyme with real meaning behind the name.

Ah this defines only a fraction of your charms,
but It's speaks of you.
Although it looks gold to me,
good luck in the contest!!

Dear Poet, a brave, poignant, tongue-in-cheek lyrical write that has a complex simplicity.
I applaud your honesty and your ability to try and flip reverse your extra challenge in life by meeting it head on.
I apologize for my tardy reply to your missive, I read it one day just before going off line, didn't log on for awhile and then I returned to find that I couldn't find it, quite why they keep changing the message system at ap is beyond me.
I am amazed at your level of creative projects away from ap and encourage you to keep being you and doing what you do.
I like the word play within Fritz O'Skennick and you have penned with clarity.
All the very best
