So Close... So Far

People so close by blood,
So far by manners;
So distant by dispositions;
So apart in worlds.

Aliens in a cramped chamber, so in need of interaction;
Unaware of a tiny tinge of what might be inside.

“WHY?”

I can’t believe old age to be like this;
Such gloomy convictions;
Such dark and down spirits;

“Or should I?”
