"You are never given a wish without also being given the power to
make it come true."
--Richard Bach
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.
