190

tonight boys become men,
and i will watch them grow, thirteen year olds getting hit in the face the first time,
tasting that satisfying scent of sweat on each others bodies.

yeah, i know exactly what that feels like.

and by the end of the night, they will walk away,
hands shoved deep into their pockets, heads hanging, staring at their shoes.
they won't say a word to each other but they'll murmuring to themselves,
"no pain, no gain"
