Caught up in the now of young woman years
my thoughts are at sea
an ocean full of my fears.
Pulled too many ways than a girl should be
Are these flames of hell too strong for me?

What if i fail?
What if i fall?
What if in a few years this means nothing at all?

I close my eyes and the dolphins are singing.
I smile cause i know this job is mine
For the taking.
It will not be easy.
This is going to be hard.
The life of a marine biologist
is not a walk in the park.

Strived for by the many
Obtained by the few
is a career worth pursuing
that holds a passion inside of you.
The most successful of students
earn their way to the top.
that's why when it gets hard,
i'm not going to stop.

The binds that hold me down here
will soon be replaced
with stronger power and beauty
in my lifes' next phase.

They say this stage is the best of your life
but i dream of the day i can swim with the dolphins
until the end of time.
And that is what makes this
worth my time.
