55 – Stand Tall

Stand Tall.
Grow to your highest potential.
Show them all what you’re made of,
even if no one will stand by your side
and only those who
will never see from your vantage point
come around.
Even when cold winds roar down the canyon
to rip at your leaves
and strain your roots
stand tall.

The challenge, should you choose to accept it, is to write a story in exactly 55 words. Flash Fiction 55 is hosted by the G-man, a host with the most.
