I'll Be Dammed

A poem written by author/poet Nate Spears reflecting on life and fight.

I'll Be Dammed
By Nate Spears


My birth arrived from a place where the sun didn't always shine
Neighbors borrowed everything
From Kool-Aid to Good Times
 Dirt trail tales and sand lot fields,
Sores filled my legs from playing out here
Diamonds in the rough, times were tough
If you didn't play right
They whipped your butt
 But,
Under the hood lies a motor
That's furious when crunk; hit the gas and excel
Use it to drive to the top
 Elevate with purpose, achieving is certain
I'll be dammed if I let the hood
Be my disconnect button.

Author's Note

I'll Be Dammmed If I Let The Hood Be My Disconnect Button.....
