Analysis of I Used to Hate Avocadoes
I used to hate avocados
Now I eat them everyday
Life is change,
So they say
Change,
Something we do all the time
Yet it rarely comes easy
One day I’m drowning in sorrow
The next day, I feel breezy
Terrifying or beautiful
The way it works
We yearn for the good times to last longer
And the dreadful ones to go
But all things change in life
Time marches on
The rhythm is as constant
As the beats in a song
Thoughts, beliefs, emotions
One day strong
As the winds of life blows
New ones replace the ones that’ve gone
It just keeps moving
No matter how we feel
Always on an up and down roll
Like a never ending ferris wheel
Yes, change is scary
But also exhilarating
To not know the possibilities
That it will bring
It’s how nature works
That’s the way it is
When we realize that existence is change
Life becomes bliss
And now, I love avocados.
