Watches him now.

Nothing matters,
In time and space.
He chose his idol,
Who he wants to become.
Not knowing in the end,
What will be won.
His life is no smiles,
Behind the curtains.
He carries with him,
Many burdens.
So he smiles to the boy,
Wave his hand at his wealth.
For now dream big, he says,
Then just be yourself.
