A Brawl
by Elizabeth Challinor
I'm so sorry
What are you going to do?
They whispered
Full of good intentions
I smiled sweetly
Thanked them
For their concern
Assured them
I would be just fine
And watched them
Tip toe away
Once I was sure
I was alone
I threw myself into a brawl
With 26
Of the best friends
I could ever ask for
