I Watched My Roof Blow Away

By Ophelou

I Watched My Roof Blow Away is a contemporary poetry collection about growing up and the search for belonging. These works trace the emotional aftershocks of childhood when change seems to be the only constant. It addresses personal evolution, and the experience of becoming in a world that often feels unwelcoming when you keep having to start again.

Blending modern confessional poetry with some softness and humorous reflection, this collection explores mental health, sorrow, self-discovery, and the quiet ache to belong. It navigates through themes of anxiety, yearning, and the slow work of becoming. Intimate and universal, I Watched My Roof Blow Away is a lyrical memoir in verse about learning to live with yourself, and eventually, learning that home is not a place, it's exactly where you are.
