Description
There was a child, a perfect child, as life was perfect in her eyes.

This child was feared by the adults around her, dragging chains behind them
Three times they asked the child to stop being so happy, three times she smiled

They knew they could not control her joy, who could, joy has only a source
That which they could control needed endings, they mused

How would they limit her hope when they could not control it?
How would they control her faith when they could not hold it?
How would they spy on her joy when they could not see it?

They came to a very wise, very profound conclusion

They could not limit the unseen, control the ephemeral or watch the invisible
But
They could control, limit and spy on their OWN chains

So, knowing the girl would not be controlled...they convinced her she already was
They swore the moments she was tired was because of the chains she didn't see
That the moment she was confused was because of the knoweldge she lacked
All times she was hesistant was because of the fear she did not feel

After time and times, the girl started beliving them, not having a reason to doubt
To this day, does she slow herself so as not to get ahead of her invisible chains

To this day, she wonders why she still can't hear them
Even though everyone else swears they can
