I get it now
second best, always silver metal
the prize that no one wanted
not fast enough to break the ribbon
not strong enough to break your heart
so instead the pieces of mine
lie
shattered
who wants to get the blue ribbon anyway?
Author notes
for once, I wanna know what it feels like to be chosen as apposed to be the one who begs to be it
Please tell me what you think

okay
This seems a little cliched. The concept, of course, is common, so it really should be difficult to write something completely original. However, I'm sure you're capable of doing much better. There are a few lines, though, that seemed good:
"always silver metal"
"not fast enough to break the ribbon"
Yes, these were the original lines that stood out. -
Wow... short, sweet, intense and straight to the point... No one deserves to be second best or how I like to call it the "consolation prize"... you should always be the grand prize where blue, red or any other color ribbon doesn't matter... good job.
