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.
