House That Raised Me Wrong: a book of becoming

This book is a raw, unflinching collection of aftershocks and becoming. Through poems born from survival, the author confronts love, identity, grief, and the quiet ways pain lingers long after the moment it began.

This is not a story of healing in a straight line-it is uncertainty, it is reflection, it is the space between who someone was forced to be and who they are learning to become. It lives in silence, in overthinking, in the small moments where the past still echoes louder than the present.

There are no easy answers here. Only honesty. Fragments of self uncovered slowly, sometimes painfully, through the process of unlearning what once felt normal.

For anyone who has loved too deeply, stayed too long, felt too much, or learned to survive by disappearing into themselves-this book holds a mirror, and a reminder that becoming is still possible.

This is not resolution.
This is what comes after survival.
