An isolated thought
Locked in a trance,
Seducingly whispers
«Give me a chance»
The toneless belcanto
Repeats in my brain,
Quietly chanting
«You won't break my chain»
Urging it forward
I pray for release,
Where lies the secret
To setting it free?
Rebellious whims
Soon intervene,
Subdue the oppressor
Restoring my dream
