Family Affair
Misunderstood intentions
never to trust,
alone in a room
filled with righteous ones.
Wearing duplicitous smiles
their evasive eyes
reveal the truth
they assume can’t be seen.
Sealed in a vacuum,
detached from the rest.
An un-crossable line
round an invisible corner.
Who are the chosen
and who gets to decide?

I really enjoyed this poem and the photo. You capture the concept of a black sheep or shunned one very well with your words. I also like that the mannequin is platinum blonde and stands way out. Thank you for sharing.
