Disillusion

When seeing a woman always downcast, the man asked:
Why that you are always so, sad to crying...
What's wrong with you?
 Don't  you have the air to breathe,
the sun to warm you,
the water to quench you...?
The wind does not caress your body...
Do you have a chronic wound,
a pre-existing pain...?
you were attacked
crowded,
shot down in hunting...?
-None of that...
She said in response.
- Life just hurts me...
   I feel the weight of the world on me...
-I lost my love...!
