"he broke my life"(Svetlana Stalin)

Under the fist of dark powers,one's life in the hands of others
Stockholm Syndrome makes you love your captor.
You are not allowed to love the one you care for
You have a son (Iosif)with your first husband
You have a daughter(Yekaterina) with your second
When the power in your life dies,you search for new meaning
You marry an American(apprentice to Frank Lloyd Wright)
You try to embrace the American myth,but the love of your children
brings you back to Russia,where you denounce America
When your privileges end,you return to America and denounce your denunciations
I read LETTERS TO A FRIEND but not ONLY ONE YEAR
You lost the millions these earned you,and died in poverty
All your life was never yours-everyone asking -"What was your father REALLY like?"
As if his actions could be contradicted by a child
Your life was never yours.Your father's shadow stole your light
Perhaps ,if you believed in reincarnation-you may gain a new one
in your next defection.
