I'd rather write

I have to clean my room 
but I'm writing instead
I should be doing my math
but I'm writing instead
I want to take a nap
but I'm writing instead
I really should do all these things 
but I'm writing instead
because when I write
I can forget about all those things I should do
I can leave my crazy 
siblings screaming
rooster crowing 
mom shouting 
world behind and just write, 
focus on the soft clacking of the keys onder my fingers
and write 
lose myself in the mindless bliss 
that comes to me 
when I write 
so that's why,  
my room is a mess
my math is behind
and my eyelids keep dropping further and further 
because I'd rather write.
