In the midst of my journey I’ve come to the realization that we
as humans are only motivated by the desires of our flesh. Even when that warm
tingly feeling we get in our hearts wards against the nature of our wrongs. We
surrender, and in life, Justice will never be just as long as humans are the
authors that write the script.
We as humans are supposed to be equal in every aspect. We are
created and given the same breath of life we all received from the beginning
of time. At birth, our hearts and minds are not motivated by the color of our skin or based on the social status that society places on us, but driven by
the purity of love and the righteousness of truth that’s within us.
My name is Steven Lamont Byrdsong and I am a convicted murderer. I have been incarcerated since the age of 16 and at the time I write
this, I am 41. I have grown up and lived inside the pits of hell. Even when my young mind couldn’t decipher the nature of my actions, my child's heart was
crying inside. But by then it was too late to rectify my wrongs and the script
of my life was written. Life Without Parole at 16, dead before I even had a
chance to live. But continuing to function only from the beat of my heart that
was pure and not scarred by the sins of my flesh.
