There are a million variety of fruits
And all of them have a few attributes
That I’d equate them to people
Some are sweet and sticky like treacle
Others are like lemons, bitter and sour
A few are like durians and overpower
Handfuls that are so full and pure,
Ones that feel like remedies that cure
All sickness, illness, and colds
Like kiwis, grapes, and cantaloupes
Have the power to uplift and revitalize
And do it without any compromise
While others can be dangerous to eat
When not carefully prepared properly
With fruits high in antioxidants
Like blueberries and pomegranates
Are essential to living healthy and full
But understand even if you eat apples,
Berries, peaches, and grapefruits,
Eating too much is not a substitute
For if your life is not kept in check
Like if your mental health is a wreck
Or if your work/life balance is awry
Or addictions leave you high and dry
Know that your body can still fall apart
Although eating healthy is a great start
If you don’t love and heal all parts of you
Because no one else will be there to
And make time for your heart, boo,
Your mind, soul, and body, too
For you should be the one to care
As you’ll never find yourself a spare
