The Only Choice


I want to become empowered

I want to control what I can

Anything less will make me sour

My mom will not be my only fan

 

I would need lots of training

I will exert blood, sweat and tears

My opposition will never be gaining

and I may need to face some fears

 

I have dreamed for years of this jurisdiction

I will use it while emulating Dr. Jonathan Stillman

To curate an aquarium is my mission

There is no other option
