Uncomfortable
I wonder if a butterfly cries when it sees its cocoon
Or if an eagle sheds tears when it sees the nest from which it is hewn
For nothing ends where it starts metaphorically speaking
Knowing this truth has my eyes randomly leaking
Some people are destined to change for them to be free
What feels like it is meant to be does not feel like it will be
Hard to accept that it was a great season but a bittersweet ending
Now I am trying to navigate my gains and losses while my heart is mending
Because I was comfortable where I was in my cozy spot
Now I feel I am being chased out of my hole not unlike the fox
Where I once found solace has now become a strain
Where I thought I had purpose is now a source of pain
Even with the knowledge that life has transitions and turns
Some of that leaves scars because some changes burn
I now see why with knowledge and wisdom comes sorrow
God stirs up the nest today because I will not be able to go back tomorrow
And that feeling of homelessness scares me as a man
Lord I put my hope in You; that I find comfort in Your hands
