Born To Skate

People say,"He shouldn't skate, 
he's killing himself!" 
My reply is don't hate 
I can handle myself.  
Double vision, broken elbow 
won't stop me. 
Removing my board is like a punch in the face, 
it'll drop me. 
I was born to skate, my board was born with me, 
throwin tre flips straight out my mother's womb. 
I've come to find I'm not scared of death. 
Board, why should I be scared of you?
