Michelle Knight, one of Ariel Castro's victims, showed up in person at his sentencing hearing yesterday shared her story of what she said happened to her and the other women held hostage by Castro for years. This poem was created from the words in her statement.
What 11 years was like for me
I missed my son every day
I cried every night
I wondered
what would happen to me
Gina was my teammate
dying from his abuse
she nursed me back to health
we said we would
make it out alive
someday
we did.
I will overcome
I will not let you define me
I will live
on I will prevail
help others
be a stronger woman
know there's more good
than evil
you will die
a little every day.
after 11 years, I am
finally being heard
your hell is just beginning
my name is Michelle Knight
