Who Is She?

I ask myself with more and more lucidity, who is the woman who among the unshed tears that burn her soul, continues to pull straight, with a smile, with the light in her eyes despite her hollow and pale face?Who is that woman who jokes around her now bald head, even managing to recognize herself as if it were nothing more than one of the … Continua a leggere Who Is She?
