Shut up you stupid girl! Silence!
Ignorant and ugly are the word she hears you say.
Lonely is what she feels
Entrapped in every single way
Never loved by anyone
Ceasing to have emotions.
Empty is how she feels. No longer speaking.

I took my son and niece to Gori, a small town in Georgia where Joseph Stalin was born. They talked me into visiting the Stalin's Museum, the largest in the post-Soviet space. I had resisted going there because I just can't stand the monster and know enough about him, or so I thought.
