Why I Write, Part x+43: My Process

I use drug metaphors, for I find them quite apt.
I write to escape. With my mind so enwrapped
I ignore what's around me, pursue the unreal,
Lose the time, the environment, discomforts I feel,
and stop anything aiming toward social success.
I'm indifferent to all sorts of mayhem and mess.
When I write, I must certainly lose self-awareness,
Because I sound like Shawn Spencer describing my process.
It's all about messages, a muse from above,
With some obscure reference to give it a shove,
Or I think of a friend, or some person I read,
Associate freely, put a hand to my head
and I'm off to the races. How my words cover ground!
But an organized process? You should check Lost & Found.
