Momologue

How can you be lonely in a room full of people?

Allison Thompson’s mother said
(Mom, hands on hips, mocks her)
“Your daughter stood in the corner

You stood in the corner.
Is there something wrong with you?
Allison Thompson is already dating.
You could use a date.
You never have any friends over.
You stood in the corner?
Is there something wrong with you?
How can you be lonely in a room full of people?


This is one of several pieces I'm working on with a middle school voice.
