The Ambition of the Pessimistic Salmon

Click here to view on Yahoo Voices !


The fall semester starts tomorrow.
18 credits along with two jobs may have an upstream feel about it.
Challenging, sure,
but impossible, not quite.
All I have to do is remember who I am.
I'm a Salmon.

However, if the hurdles eventually prove too high,
and I don't get those much coveted A's,
I'll still, always have my over-ambitiousness to blame.
After all, I'm a Salmon.
I know for sure,
that my rigorous swim upstream,
quite always ends in a grizzly's paunch.
