"You won" he said.
as he slapped a label on my back
Your story's been read
then he left me with the pack
I guess I won
the prize is shame;
a forgotten name,
a lifetime of pain.
At least something's been gained
another award put in the stash
My medallion of empty gold
to help soften my headfirst crash

I had wrote the first 4 lines for this one about 5 months before publishing it because I didn't know where to go and gave up on it. Enjoy.
