Bruises Bloom Daisies is a quiet rebellion against forgetting—testament to how we carry our wounds and still find ways to flower. These poems trace the nonlinear terrain of healing, where strength lives within pain and vulnerability becomes a fierce kind of courage. In this space, a girl becomes a woman beneath the weight of borrowed expectations, silence becomes both prison and refuge, and the body remembers what the mind resists. This collection doesn’t offer answers—it lingers in the in-between, where meaning waits. It honors the softness that survives, the beauty that rises from ruin, and the bloom born of bruises.
