Kimberly Allard02 Poet Free verse

Panic

Panic!
I hear footsteps walking around
in my darken kitchen.
Am I awake?!
Do I really hear footsteps?
Straining to hear I slightly raise
my head.
Now I hear deep breathing close by.
This can’t be happening.
Do I have a weapon I can grab?
I open my eyes to look at the
the clock.
The footsteps sound like dog nails
on the kitchen tile and the 
heavy breathing is me.
I let out a groan. 
I’ve got to stop watching the 
SYFY channel before bedtime.
It’s going to be a
Looong night!
