The Dark Mark on My Soul
I consider myself fortunate to have a gym membership. I am able to go to the gym primarily to workout and keep my stress levels down due to my situation. But it serves a dual purpose….it also allows me to keep myself up. I am able to shower, shave and the likes. Many homeless people do not have that luxury.
I do find that some of the club members are nosy tho. You see….the bag that I carry to the gym is quite large for obvious reasons. Everything that I own pretty much is on my back! So I have to keep all of these items with me: A couple of changes of clothes, underwear, socks, soap, washcloth, deodorant, toothpaste/brush. The list goes on. It is a tremendous burden to lug it around all day.
The bag has produced a dark mark on my right shoulder that is tender to the touch.
