Daisies at Dawn

By Petite Malay Girl

Daisies at Dawn is a collection of poetry about different emotions; from feeling hopeful, sad, fearful to overwhelming anxiety. About the experience of sadness, heartbreak, healing and love. The book is divided into seven chapters, and each chapter serves a different purpose. Daisies at Dawn takes readers through a journey of bittersweet moments in life and finds a chance of new beginning if you have faith and hope.


Their petals may have wilted,
their stems may not stand as tall,
their leaves may have fallen off,
and they may not be picked from the garden.

But daisies bloom at dawn,
and each time when the sky cries.

They remind me that beauty is present,
in all creations that exist,
in difference and in imperfection.

They remind me of hopes and new beginnings,
and sprinkle happiness in my life.

Introduction

Dear readers,

I’m not sure how you came across this book, but I’m glad you did. Growing up, my future has always been looking a little blurry. But I know one thing for sure is that I’ve always wanted to write my own book. It took me years to finally take that leap of faith. I’m glad this day has come and I’m glad someone is reading it.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Something About That Girl

If you’re thinking this book has a storyline, well you’re not absolutely wrong. I don’t believe in having just one storyline. Even in our daily lives, we will have multiple stories
