Bronx Masquar Poetry Respons

I can infer that Chankara is feeling very depress and lonely because she have notice that her boyfriend don't really love her and that shes going through the same situation her sister is going through. I can also infer that she needs a person to talk to and express her feelings, but the one that could have help is her sister and she is in the same situation. Bruise is the word she uses in the poem to describe her feelings because she uses that word to support her details to compare and make you understand what she mean in one word. The meaning of this poem is that Chankara don't want to go through the same problem her sister is going through because she wants to help her self.
