Alone and On Break

[star]

It was quiet in the staff room as a girls head pooped through the door to look inside. No one was in there so the girl opened the door more and walked in shutting the door enough so it only was cracked open. She went to the far corner carrying a case in her hands, a big case. She sat down in the corner and let out a small sigh. She had just began work here and already she was feeling like she didn't fit in cause everyone looked at the way she dressed and judged her a little. She layed the large case to the side and opened it taking out an acoustic guitar. She picked it up and sighed once more and began to strum upon it till she began to form a song.. Mentally she put the words to the beat and began to sing with the guitar..

this uncivil war


(gretchen peters)

There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your changes
Or you can run to save your life
And one side is retreating
And the other's runnin scared
And the drums of war are beating
Even through its undeclared

And both sides say they're winning
And both sides know they're losing
And neither one knows what they're fighting for
And in the quiet little places
You can see the little faces
Huddled right outside the bedroom door
Praying for an end to this uncivil war

Papa needs a new job
So he's swallowing his pride

Oh, but it don't go down easy
And it eats him up inside
And mama, she don't notice
Little sister's ragged dress
Lately she don't notice
Much of anything
I guess

They're just fightin off the hunger
Tryin to keep from goin under
But the wolves just keep on
Gatherin' round the door
There's no place to run for cover
So they're turning on each other
Cause there really ain't no winners anymore
Just victims of this uncivil war

There's a silence on the front lines
You can cut it with a knife
You can stay and take your chances
Or you can run to save your life

"Hot hot hot!" A little ways down the hallway a guy and his sister came down the hallway. "That's why I told you to get a napkin or something." she rolled her eyes. "HOT!" he stuck whatever he was eating into his mouth. "You say it's hot and you shove the whole thing your mouth. That makes sense." she opened the door to the room where the girl was. She got a water out of the fridge tossing it to her brother who pratically swallowed it all in one gulp. "How you got a job here is beyond me." she shook her head. He rolled his eyes and looked over at the girl. "Haven't I seen you around here?" he asked
