Life

Adrenaline

Colette Brancaccio
This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at Delaware chapter.

Eyes slowly blink open

Then panic sets in

It’s 4am

And I hear a thump

Who is out there making my heart—

—Jump.

Frozen to the spot

Getting the guts to stand up

Then creep towards the door

Tip toe tip toe

Did I lock the door tonight?

Tip toe tip toe—

Run. Hide. Fight.
