Missing You
In the midst of the day
I think of something you might say
Even in moments of despair
I wish you could be there
No matter what I do
I find myself missing you
– Emily Blank

The Other Me
​
Every human is a walking book
If only you'd take a moment to look
No I don't mean just a glance
I mean a movie of their life in advance
Only then would you see
I am another you, you another me
– Emily Blank
​
Dream Big
​
Take a leap of faith
Don't just do what's safe
Have the guts to risk it all
Most are too afraid to fall
It's the possibility of a dream come true
That makes this life worth it to do
So take the path less traveled by
Only the brave will qualify
– Emily Blank
Heaven 'N' Hell
​
This place we live, it's no heaven, it's no hell
It is what it is and that's the sad truth as well
You see, everything comes with good & bad
Once you accept that you won't be so sad
Maybe that's why utopia doesn't exist
We as humans demand to persist
Stop fighting for perfection
Instead love one another and show affection
– Emily Blank
Empty
​
Not a day goes by
Where you don't see her cry
She wears a mask just like the rest
But still there is a sadness deep in her chest
A hole so deep, the depths of the ocean can't compare
You can try and fill it, if you dare
She says she's too broken, beyond repair
All she wants is for someone to care
She's a sad girl with a heavy heart
Maybe one day, the sadness will part
– Emily Blank
The Sea
​
Take me to the sea
Where all my worries flee
As the waves crash on the shore
So does peace into my core
– Emily Blank
Getaway Car
​
You're better than you think you are
You could've even been a star
But you took the emotional getaway car
Leaving behind your dreams afar
Remember it's better late than never
Because we don't live forever
And you can still be the best ever
To succeed you must endeavor
– Emily Blank
Departed
​
One of the best things I had departed
The way it all went down left me so broken hearted
Don't leave me, not like this
I still need to give you your goodbye kiss
I can't do this, not without you
I hate that there is nothing else I can do
Love doesn't just disappear or go away
I hope to see you again, someday
– Emily Blank
You
​
You make me happy
You make me sad
You listen to what I have to say
You always seem to understand
You make me feel good
Like maybe a drug would
I'm not used to this feeling
But I thank you for the healing
– Emily Blank
​
Beautiful Soul
​
Looks do not impress me anymore
Because when I cannot see your face
I can begin to feel your soul
A different kind of embrace
– Emily Blank
​
Colors
​
Maybe one day
Life won't be so gray
And I will see the colors
Just like the others
– Emily Blank
