I was salt,
You were sugar
You were sweet,
When I was bitter.

You were kind and pure Snow White,
When I would poison the tongues of young.

I never understood
why you were so popular?
When we were so very similar.
Why did people crave and always want you more?

What is your secret dear sweet sister?
I'm sure we would all like to know...

I wish I had your affect on others,
Instead of constantly hiding in your shadow,
Did I tell you I was mistaken for you once?
I only confused those trying to look for my other half.

Your taste is blissful and everlasting,
Whereas I'm only known for ruining your things.
I can't help it if they mix up salt instead of sugar in a cake.
I never meant to make them so upset...

But your just a trick,
A lie I see,
Even though I'm always hidden,
I'm useful and valued.

No one realises how evil and malicious you really are,
Underneath your sweet, white smile
Your a two faced liar.

After all,
Even Sugar can be mistaken for Salt...
