Poetry / A thesis/ if-then statement for my essay (the poem "Experience" by Dorothy Livesay) [4]

I would need to write an if-then statement, and theme statement for my essay on the poem "experience" by Dorothy Livesay.
Anyone have any ideas?
What if/then statement can i write for this poem?

Poem:

"For your own good" they said,
And they gave me bread
Bitter and hard to swallow.
My head felt tired after it,
My heart felt hollow.

So I went away on my own road
Tasting all fruits, all breads:
And if some were bitter, others were sweet --
So I learned
How the heart is fed.
