Older than before

As I get older so much older than before,
I seem to think about this life more and more and more.
Strange sense of connectedness with the universe,
The essence in me reflects the essence in everybody else.

Open your eyes and see we are all the same.
We all just play a role within this game.
Open your eyes see this is our world to claim.
Will we ever ever see?

Now my life on Earth has begun to transform,
no longer accepting that I must conform with the norm.
And every now and then I question the purpose of all this,
I see there might not need to be one.

Look around, yes I know there's so much pain.
There's a lesson from the pain that we can gain,
Life could be so much worse for us
 how can we complain?
