Salad
I'm healthy
I symbolize
self conscious
insecurities
I victimize
those who choose
burgers and fries
I offend those
who choose
thicker thighs
But I most closely
represent evil
hiding away
you eat more of me
so you can blend in
to this pressure filled
society that we live in
but tell me are you
anymore thin
than when you last
weighed in?
