About offthechainjoe

I live in the US outside of Philadelphia

I'm going to be in 11th grade soon and hopefully have my license/car by then

I used to be a pretty quiet/shy kid, but that was before I switched schools. Now I feel like I've been able to come out of my shell more and I'm a little more outgoing and have better self-esteem.

I've had a lot of issues in the passed dealing with depression, suicide, abuse, family counseling.... Sometimes I just want to disappear.

Writing is like a sanctuary for me. It lets me escape the frustrating cycle of life I find myself in too often and lets me be God for once.



Remember when dad's shoulders were the highest place on earth and your mom was your hero? Race issues were about who ran the fastest, war was only a car game. The most pain you felt was when you skinned your knees, and good byes only meant tomorrow? And we couldn't wait to grow up.
