I started writing poems six years ago, and wrote "I Bruise Easily" somewhere between 8th grade or my freshmen year in high school. I was inspired to write this poem when I was listening to one of my favorite songs with the same title. Whenever I listened to the song, I felt sad or hurt. That time, I wasn't healthy inside and out. I had problems with my self-esteem and some people don't really took me seriously enough because of my body size or my quiet attitude. Among all my poems, "I Bruise Easily" is my top favorite even my English teacher liked it.
