Writer, Interrupted

People, I beg you--
don't bother someone
when they're weaving words.
Too hypnotized by the pen
to care about
whatever you may need.
What did you expect?
We're writers,
we must do this
in order to stay sane.
We can't care
about the worlds end,
if the garbage has to go out
or even taking a shower.
What more can I say?
The pen calls us
and when it does,
(no matter the time or place)
we must respond.
It's our priority.
Our personal addiction.
Surely, you must understand?
I apologize for
cutting this conversation short,
but my pen wants me
to write a new poem.

I've just read this aloud to my 9 year old son and now he finally understands everything.
Thank you for it, I Am Svetlana.

Hah! Nicely put and full of truth! I should probably print that out and post all over the house so people will be constantly reminded, leaving me be undisturbed

You're welcome to print this out if you wish :) Thanks for the review!
