I've Always Been a Poet, 'Though I Didn't Always Know It

When I was a young man (wow, that seems like forever ago), I always wanted to be a rock star.  I think a lot of people growing up did.  And like a lot of people with those same aspirations, I had notes filled with song ideas, which I revisited from time to time over the years.  As I matured, so too did those lyrics develop into something meaningful.  The words printed within these pages outline the five most tumultuous eras of my younger self.
