Changing Faces

I came into this world Sean John Marshall. I am twenty-seven
years old, and was born and raised in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I
am a fine artist, author, a proud father of one beautiful baby girl, and
an all-around entrepreneur. But all of my pursuits came to an abrupt
halt when I was consumed by a life of crime.
For so long I became a part of a problem. Growing up in and
around the streets, Ive caused much destruction in my lifetime. Ive
been a part of gang violence, sold drugs, and was involved in countless
thefts and armed robberies.
Now my lifes focus is to inspire, teach, uplift and mend. I now use
lifes experiences to grow and learn. I feel obligated to pass on all the
insight and knowledge Ive obtained throughout the years to whoever
I can. By doing so, people can learn from my mistakes and use me
as an example, because Ive seen darker truths that people need not
witness themselves. Ive walked rocky paths on which those can only
stumble. And if by sharing my views on paper and pouring my heart
out through a pen can inspire or save just one life, if by writing I can
prevent someone from making some of the same mistakes Ive made,
I will have done my part. I will have at least saved one soul from
having to suffer the afflictions Ive faced. And for that reason alone, I
write. And for that reason alone, Ill forever share my truths.
