Outstanding

 Sometimes, to be outstanding demands standing out.

But be warned,

you will be like a lone tree in the plains.

Though, the moisture be tasted foremost by you

but the bashing of elements

must be yours to bear as well

for a greater glory.

.

If you happen to be a Rose

and your garment finer than that of others

then you must contend with smears and aspersions

And if you are a Giraffe.

To see far implies more worries to contend with

As much as the advantage of foresight.
