Work.

I work at a juvenile detention facility.

There is so much sadness here but you would not see it from the outset. If you first walked in here, you would see brash, ballsy, bullying boys unafraid of you or any authority. But get them one-on-one or speak to them softly without a veneer of toughness and their true core comes out: savagery grown wildly around a broken middle, like viciously thorned vines protecting a soft seed inside. These boys weren't born like this, they evolved.
