INTRUDER

Fear, not knowing where they are or where they’re headed to
Scratching, clawing across the floor not knowing what to do
I Grab my boots, hammer and blade then slide across the room
Pausing a moment to chisel and break the handle off the broom
Attempting to make a makeshift weapon, I feel like I am ready
Although I feel I am very quiet, my hands are not so steady
Shaking like a fall blown leaf, this is really not so good
I’ll do my best to bring them down but I’m not so sure I should
I feel the room shaking, they are coming down the stairs
Two of them are laughing while the leader simply stares
Staring into the darkness where I stood my body quaking
A crazy look in his eye with his Trigger finger shaking
It really matters not if there are ten or only one
I see my fate in front of me down the barrel of a gun.
