it looks like you're trying to print the value of the id from a p. The quickest way to fix this would be to change your button click event from:

form.onclick = function(event) {
      event.preventDefault();
      var input = document.getElementById("write_msg").value
      var id = document.getElementById("insertName").value
      console.log(input)
      console.log(id)
    }

to:

form.onclick = function(event) {
      event.preventDefault();
      var input = document.getElementById("write_msg").value
      var id = document.getElementById("insertName").innerText;
      console.log(input)
      console.log(id)
    }
