There was a noble sadness hiding in her eyes.
She wears a smile, though elements of insecurities
Trembled in its corners...
Dignity and suffering, combating
for the control of her expression.

Lets lay around speaking our past lives into (Mind Movies).

he is bound to one day grow into man 
I think it's when he is just five years old 
He becomes a demolition fan
