The doorknob rattles <br />The door squeaks as it slowly opens <br />I feel the presence of the eyes gleaming on me <br />My heart pounds so loud <br />Can the eye's master hear me? <br />Could it be a robber? <br />Kidnapper? <br />Indian? <br />Lion? <br />Snake? <br />Who could it be? <br />I can't bare it any longer! <br />I slowly open my eye <br />Oh! It's just my mom checking on me. <br />.<br /><br />Cassy Taberna<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-stranger-11/
