Twisting words
Full of color
Freeing thy imagination
Like no other
Time goes by
Slowly turning
Rewind the hands
Back to oblivion
Destroying all odds
To set sail once again

Dancing through waters
Catching waves
Leaping through life
Only then to be saved

Walking on water
As though your a ghost
Blending in to the oblivion
Twisting with the oceans current

Fading back
Falling slowly
Timeless travels
When I close my eyes...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
To delete the troubles from my past will not help me heal or grow until I accept them and move forward with my life allowing me to become a version of myself....

Delivery for you...

Here’s my black heart
                   Crying tears of blood...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Being blinded by the darkness
Like a blindfold over your eyes
Stumble and fall into a black hole
Digging your way back to the top
Trying to find the light in the darkness
Remove the blindfold
But your still in the dark
Carrying all the demons you carry upon your back
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Even through the dense fog, you have accomplished to create a beautiful work of art

Depression
          De
             Pressed
                        Me
Black hole
Falling down
Crying for no reason
Smacking face first into the ground
Spiraling out of control
Searching for the light
Everything I touch
Seems to far out of sight
Light to darkness
Darkness to light
My life decisions
I just live in regret
Depression is real
It is not fake
One little thing will set you off
My life is a mistake
Turning tables
Drowning in tears
Uncontrollable feelings
All I’m left with is my fears
      Depression
          De
              Pressed
                         Me
This is my life
          God, just come and take me.....
I wrote this for all the people who suffer with depression. Even if you don’t personally suffer with this, we all have felt this way at some point with situations we’ve been through.
Here’s to helping just one person deal with this aweful  disease.
Ashly Kocher May 2020
Depression
Equals
Deep expression
Add a few letters and the meaning changing itself fully to become a more positive influence allowing ones self to emote an otherwise “tragic” word or feeling into something deeper than a so called “illness “
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I’m sorry that I had to leave
I had many demons inside of me
My time here on earth was up
I am not sure why...
I’m sorry I caused you so much hurt
All my pain has gone away
Just know that I’m ok
But I left you in the wrong way
I left broken, but now that’s you
Broken inside, speechless, and alone on eighth avenue
A place we called home for many years now
Loving and supportive neighbors that are all mourning somehow
As the day, the nights go by, remember I’m always here, by your side
I see the flowers piling upon my car
I thank you for the love from afar
I know your sad, let me dry your tears
I’ll see you soon, I’ll wait and count the years
I’m sorry again I had to leave
Just know I love you and I’ll protect you while you grieve...
Found out my neighbors daughter, who just turned 21 in November, lost her battle of depression and took her life. I wrote this in the perspective of her talking to her family and friends.

You don’t think

You know

The uphill battle is rough

Yet, the climb to the top will be

EVERYTHING

When you reach you destination

Beauty lies within the heart and soul of your own dreams that are filled with the same energy that radiates through you giving light to follow your true destiny…
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Destiny lies in your own hands
You just have to believe in something
Be passionate about it
        Let it flourish
Keep it hydrated
        Never lose hope
Be brave
        Let your heart guide you
Reach for the stars
For then, your destiny will become a reality
Making all your dreams come true...

Seeing the deterioration of a woman who once could run circles around us young folks, is frustrating and upsetting all rolled into one....not only for us, but for her, tremendously
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Avoidance isn’t key
Determination is what
Makes me
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
A heroic act with no hesitation
You jumped right in during this devastation
This mornig my sister called in a fire at a house across from her work... she ran over and helped everyone get out as they were screaming, and jumping out of the windows.
To think it was 8 years ago that our family house went up in flames but my sister didn’t hesitate to help.
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Alone
Torn apart
Dreaming of perfection
Hiding away all perspectives
Living my own best life
Happiness is all I need
Love to be had
Just for
Me
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
In difference of opinions
Can open each other’s eyes
Connect you on a different level
What you will learn
Can take you by surprise
Open your heart
Listen with your ears
Different opinions
Lessens your fears
Even if your just scratching the surface
While your connecting with me
Diffence of opinions
Understanding is key
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Seeing the difference
Within the indifference
Will make a difference
Ashly Kocher Jul 2021
Ask yourself
“Why am I different?”
Your inner voice replies
“Your not different, YOU ARE YOU”
That’s a beautiful thing
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
To see yourself in a different light
From all you’ve accomplished
You put up one hell of a fight

Don’t be scourged for if you fall
It’s just part of everyone’s life
After all  

Pick yourself up and dust off
Walking on the tightrope
Keeping balance
Until you rise above it all
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Looking at the same picture
We all see and agree
It’s a picture of a candle burning
But how we individually interpret
A piece of art
How we perceive why it is what we see
Thinking different questions of exactly what the meaning is regarding the knowledge of this challenge

Meaning:
We all see the same exact picture
But we all have different perceptions and thoughts
None of which are wrong
We all can look at the same thing
But uniquely we all see a distorted picture
Fluttering with ever changing meaning from one person to the next..
Ashly Kocher Jun 2020
Stressed.....

Taking a jump to the unknown
Spiraling down the rabbit hole
Falling slowly with nothing in sight
Staying brave as I take flight
Coming to a land with my feet on the ground
I open my eyes to see what I've found
A different would that's kept secret and underground
To a fantasy of a world where no one makes a sound.
Ashly Kocher May 2020
Something so precious to you may mean nothing to me but yet we both have our passions that always can be seen if we can look in between the two different worlds, opening our eyes to the life of what precious moments mean...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Never give up
Always dig deep
You never know
What dreams
Are right under your feet
Waiting for you
To make them compete
Never giving up
Always digging deep
Trying to get the dreams
Right under your feet
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Friends come and go like a revolving door
When you least expect it
Your past will be dug up
Like founding buried treasures on X marks the spot
Memories flood back into your heart
Covering your body in chills
Taking you right back to the start

Many years have past since these memories have been brought up
Even though it ties back to sadness since your depart
You left our lives way too soon
Your smile was always as bright as the moon

Connecting puzzles pieces from your past to now
Who’d ever thought this is how it turns out
20 years ago connects your past to your present
Certainly the future friendships will grow stronger and will always last

At unexpected times people and memories will show up
Taking you back in time and filling your heart with love
Even though so much time has past
We all hold onto the amazing times and memories that we once had...
       Sometimes digging up the past
Could mend your heart
          And
         Broken friendships
             Taking you right back to the start....
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
Dip in my blood
Kiss me on the lips
But be cautious
I like to bite
Sharing my venom
Now your mine
Don’t you wish
You could rewind
The time
From when you kissed me
When I took a bite
On your lips
Giving you my blood
Encasing you inside of me
Like a cocoon for a butterfly
Warm and relaxed
Don’t turn your back
You’ll never see it coming
When I’m ready to attack
Again
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
My eyes dance
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
My heart flutters
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
When you look at me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Touch me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Whisper in my ear
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Giving me goosebumps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sliding it inside of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Making music, between the sheets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
******* to this sick beat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweet love, bodies colliding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Juices flowing, lick it up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn it up, throw me in the shower
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call me your ***** girl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You want to stick it where?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You made me a freak
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do whatever you want to me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let’s go all night
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
******* me is where it’s at....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Social media can be an evil place
People who ***** about everything
It is such a disgrace
We all have problems
We all have stress
But to just complain about everything
It is such a mess
Don’t air your ***** laundry
For all to see
Just to get some self pity
It’s not a platform to receive charity
Come on people have some dignity

You may feel like your losing yourself within this disaster
But maybe your actually finding yourself through this intense storm...

Look past the storm and look for the rainbow...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Sometimes I shake my head in disbelief and ask myself
“Where did I go wrong, why me?”
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
Disconnect me
From all the
Negativity
Amen
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
So involved
So connected
Yet so far in disconnect...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
Sudden disconnect
Change of force
No contact  
Communication lost
Silent voices
No control
Left in the dark
Change of heart
Not understanding
Sudden disconnect
Change of force
What’s next?
Ashly Kocher Dec 2019
When your trying to be

Discovered

You blend right in

When you don’t try so hard

That’s where your journey

Begins...

Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Feeling like a kid when you walk through the gates
Walking down the path, your journey awaits
Imagination is running wild
Going back to feeling like a child
Eyes are glowing
Smiles so big
Feeling the magic
And wishes to be made
You fill your hearts with memories to treasure
Walt Disney world is my guilty pleasure
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Distance echos
Coming from the woods
As leaves change colors
Falling gracefully to the ground
Piling up
One by one
Hidden by chill in the air
Fall has arrived
Now the trees will all be bare
As distance echos linger
From inside the woods
Without a single care
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Unrealistically
What is happening to me
Thinking of the distant memories
Ways heavy on my heart
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Standing outside just before dusk
Looking into an open area of nothing
My eyes seem blurry but an image appeared
It was a distorted picture of a little girl spinning in the air
She was dancing in the rain but yet it wasn’t raining at all
What was this sight that I just saw
She only stayed for a minute or two
What is the meaning of this and why did I see it
Though distorted yet so obvious too
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Trying to find a distraction from this crazy day......


....then I look up and saw you and all my frustrations went away.....
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Dive in
Follow me
The water is fine
Just kick your feet
Keeping the time
Stare into my eyes
You’ll be mesmerized
As you swim through the high tide
Finding all my hidden treasures
Within my blue/hazel eyes
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Trying to navigate the waters
Without shutting down
Hitting rock bottom  
Crying without making a sound
Flowing waters turn to solid ice
Cracking and breaking down the layers
Always trying to cover it up and be nice
The water splits, you have to pick a side
Dive right In, your new life might just begin
Ashly Kocher Jan 2021
There has always been a

D I V I D E

It’s just more publicly know now
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Trying hard to feel for you
While your getting the help you need
But also remembering how much you lied
To all of us in the past couple years
Did you want help or just pity through all those tears
I keep going back and forth with the feelings in my heart
Happy your getting help and not caring at the same time
Is that wrong, you did this all to yourself
How did you get so low when you had all of our help
The struggle is real for the person involved
But did you ever think of all of your supporters at all
Guess we’ll wait and see how it’ll all turn out
My heart is divided into happy yet sad
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
Do I speak to you with my words
Do I help you through struggling times
Do I lift your spirits when you feel down
Do I turn your smile away from a frown
Do I make your mind think about life
Do I fill your heart with delight

If you can answer yes to at least one of these questions
Then, I have done my part in my writing again...

Tomorrow’s a new day as the clouds break and the rise of the sun...

A new day has begun....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
My blood boils
At the sight of you
All your antics
Are just ****** up
Try to work with you
But that’s not what you want
I’m done trying being nice
To me your cold as ice
Grow up and do you job


Good riddance to you
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
It’s hard to get my point across
But then my fingers do the typing
My words just flow
Yet people don’t appreciate it
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
Don’t cry for me because I’m gone
Shed a tear when you hear a song
Don’t waste your tears missing me
Live your life as happy as can be
I’m always here just look around
From high in the sky, down to the ground
That butterfly that flies and  hangs around
To the rainbow that appears so profound
Look for happiness, for I am always with you
In the still of the night, listen, I will come to you
Don’t cry for me because I’m gone
Farewell, for now, so long
My friend we’ll see you soon enough again....
