The elements work together to balance each other out. When they become unbalanced, chaos happens. This poetry collection will hopefully find you, and heal you in the best way.

Fire

The burn,

You left,

Like embers,

Of lies,

Upon my body,

Scorching deep,

With in my heart,

Brought forth,

By your betrayal

Left scars,

That will never fade

Water                                                            

Your tides pulling,

Me in,

Every word spoken,

Drowns,

My ability,

To see what,

You really are,

Waves of lies,

Crash against these walls,

I’ve built,

To keep men like you,

Out,

I find myself just below the surface,

Gasping for air,

But your current,

Pulls me deeper,

And deeper,

As I lose myself,

In you.

Earth

All I can say is,

Everything you deserve,

Will be on its way,

Growth does not happen,

Over night,

Be patient,

My darling,

You are a flower,

Blooming through,

The worst kind of,

Storm.

Air

Escaping,

You,

Was like breathing,

For the first time,

I never realized,

your toxicity,

Was what,

I was inhaling,

Now,

All I want,

Is fresh air.

Sometimes you have to be destroyed to grow. This will pass. I truly believe, you will find your inner peace.

Meet Bianca, I am currently a Junior at Utica College in Utica, NY.  I am a Criminal Justice major with a concentration in Homeland Security.  Crime investigation has always been something that interests me.  I’m dedicated and passionate and it’s hard for me to quit things. I get that from my father so don’t hold it against me- he was a veteran and police officer for 20 years.   Growing up in a family centered around law enforcement has helped guide me in this direction, and I will forever be grateful.  After graduation I intend to continue on to law school where I can further my education in hopes of becoming a criminal defense lawyer and later on a District Attorney.  An interesting fact about myself is that I found the passion to be a criminal defense lawyer from watching the O.J. Simpson case.  The facts and conspiracy theories evoked a whole new passion behind criminal investigation that I intend to use in my future.  One of my most prominent moments in my writing career was when I wrote for an online magazine and had my most prevalent article hit 1.6k shares.  I believe in treating people with the same kind of respect and manners you would expect in return, and in a way it has helped shaped my expectations in life.   When you first meet me I won’t be the loudest in the room or the center of attention, but I will be intently listening to everything you say, for what you have to say may have a purpose. I believe in purpose. I believe that everyone is here to help you grow into who you are today and who you will be tomorrow.
