Crimson’s Creative Challenge | I Survived

I Survived.

Torrents invaded 
But here I still stand
If anything
Nourished
By the unexpected
Ferocious flow
Of tears through this land.

I’d like this to be
an example
to all the other islands out there
That no matter your stature
(And although life isn’t fair)
That you can keep going
And live
To tell tales to the young
Of how you not only survived,
But thrived,
Grew,
And won.
