Chained Rhyme

Invisible chains are the hardest to break
Stronger than iron
Weightier than an anchor

A tiger born in captivity
Doesn't know to resent the cage
Invisible chains are the hardest to break

Fear confines
More efficiently than prison bars
Stronger than iron

Assumptions and expectations
Forge unyielding links
Heavier than an anchor.
