"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true." Many teenagers feel that high school is one of the most difficult and confusing times of their life. Life rides a roller coaster as it hits its fantastic highs and then drops back down to its unwanted lows. This is natural; it happens to everyone. Unfortunately, many teenagers feel alone in the world. They wonder why they were punished and everyone else's life seems to be going so well. The collection of poems in "You're not Alone" reflects the pain, confusion, love, hate, heartbreak, anxiety, and loneliness that all teenagers go through at one point and time. It reminds them that they are not rowing the boat by themselves but rather, that they have an entire crew rowing with them. They are all attempting to reach a like goal: To make it through their teenage years. Their wish will come true.

Dawn caught the darkness unaware, the sun springing from behind the mountains like a rabid cat to devour the moon's sliver. During the course of the night the temperature about Heartbreak Ridge had risen to exceed a hundred degrees. Below its western rim the massive wilderness of Whisperland was hotter still. To the south, the animals of New Eden had amassed sixty-some-odd deep and over a kilometer wide. Across from them, the gladiators of the Fleshstalkers and the Rebel Skys loomed as a formidable challenge. In the backdrop, Warbird posed his bloodshot eyes to a trio of figures at the fall line of the plateau-the great roan stallion and his riders, the human trash who dared interfere with the inevitable outcome of the epic battle. Galahad felt certain he was on the threshold of an epiphany, just as he knew that nothing short of one would save the kingdom.
