Having It All?

I am dragging my bag a little bit
slower today.
It seems so much heavier than the day
before.
Why wouldn’t it be? After all, I hit the mother load of
dumpsters, cleaned the place out before the rest of them got their grubby hands
on it.
I am going slower.
Maybe it’s because
I keep hearing his voice ringing in my ears from all the times he slapped me.
“You could
have had it all!” he’d say.
God, how I
despise him! Oh, how I did love him…at least, in the beginning.
I am on the
streets now and no longer afraid.
I am free.
