We will rise again from all this pain
All our anxiety will soon fade away
We may all feel like we’re deep in a hole
But, when we are reunited again, our hearts will fill full
This too shall pass soon as the light will shine bright
Depleting all of our fears and fright
For now, we need to just weather the storm, so that things can restart, from where we left off before...

Don’t be afraid to risk it all
Don’t be afraid if you may fall
Just breath and count to 10  
Deep breath in...
Deep breath out...
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
10
Repeat again...
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
Don’t be afraid if you may fall
You’ll never know what your capable of
If you don’t take the risk and just jump
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
A little bird lands on a flimsy branch
Never fearing if it will hold or break
Take a risk, risk it all
Don’t fear for if you fall
You’ll always have your wings
To help you through it all
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
My love for you
    Is like a river running
              Never still
         Always content movement

Collecting memories
         Piling up
  From the bottom of the rising waters
          Flowing into non existences

When the time is right
               And
When you need it the most
               It will rise to the top
        Floating around your subconscious
Bringing the happy thoughts
           Back to life

The main things is that you ok
Even though your personal items were taken away
In a blink of an eye
Your world was tossed around
Turning your life upside down
This inexcusable act is unbelievable to me
It could have been worse, physically
Know that I am here
Always to help
But thank God your alright
Just think of that in hindsight
My friends car was robbed with all of her belongings in a matter of 30 secs while she was dropping something off. She is ok and wasn’t at the car but she is still shaken up.

You may have hit rock bottom
But that , my friend, is where the crystals are found and the magic happens...

Be gentle with me as I feel like I’m on a rocking boat on an angered sea stirring up an emotional potion inside of me
One thing will tip me over
Flooding my heart
Drowning my tears
Floating under water
Where no one can see how
Strong  
I
AM
   NOT
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Your dreams are within reach, grab it tight
You have worked so hard and put up a fight
Even though we're miles away your still in my heart everyday
We're still under the same big sky, surrounded by the stars at night
Embark on your journey to somewhere new
Thank you for being my role model and being so true.

Slip on stockings
(Nothing underneath)

A **** lace bra
(Covered by a red long shirt)

Put on some glasses
(Role play at its finest)

Climb on top of him
(Driving him wild)

Turning me on
(Getting so wet)

Rip in my stocking
(Getting closer yet)

An out of body experience
(That was totally not me)

Oh but baby it was
( ******* **** and hot as can be)

****.....
Role play....

If you only knew about this wicked roller coaster ride that happens inside of my head always going at full speed....

Oh wait, you do....

If you read any of my poetry....

Living the
R

     L
       L

           R

R
Of life events
Starts with a slow ride of growing up inside of your mother
As it reaches the end of your warm and cozy environment safe inside
The ****** reaches the top of the hill
Racing into the world at full speed as the coaster plunged down the big drop
You are now thrown into this crazy world
Filled with twists
      Turns
Highs
       Lows
Slow and steady
        Fast and furious
Your journey may start off wild and crazy
                                 Or
Could be calming and take an unexpected turn

Sometimes the track of the ride will just stop and need to be evacuated
                     Or
Can just break down while your waiting in line
This represents all who have had miscarriages
                  Or
Premature pregnancy, still born, that ended too soon

You may try again later in life to restart the ride
Hopefully to enjoy the journey of so many others did waiting in line in front of you

Those who made it through the roller coaster of life
Will enjoy the ride of a lifetime
Buckled and strapped into your wild and crazy ride that we call
                LIFE
A little different write then I normally do. Hope you enjoy!
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
A rollercoaster flying so fast
Going downhill wind blowing past
The constant ups and downs
Mystical revelation
Complete satisfaction
Hidden treasures
Making love happen
The flips
The turns
The twists
The drops
Life’s channeling moments
That’s the rollercoaster of life

The root of happiness starts with self care for yourself from the bottom of your heart...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
The root of all
Your problems
Start with the
Roots that grow underground
Growing and adapting to your surroundings
Blooming into something
Maybe broken and malnourished   but also beautifully flourishing from the roots you come from and learn to become
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Dig a hole
    In the ground
        Expose the roots...

That’s where you’ll find
        The root of the problem...
You have to dig deep to find the root of where the problem may lay

I could let go of the things inside of me that are eating me alive
Like bugs harvesting on a rotten piece of food
Throw it away
Let it go
Take control over the emotions that are making me
Rotten to the core...
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
Always been rough around the edges
Like a thorn on a blooming rose
Flourishing and growing
Ever changing colors of life
Yet not losing my strength of heart
That was once a seed planted in the ground
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
To return to the same place where I said my last goodbyes
Brought up all these raw emotions inside
I am not weak but I am strong
Even though the tears will continue to fall
I’ll be ok
I will be fine
Right now, just having a rough time...
Ashly Kocher Aug 2020
Rough waters come and go
Just like your fears turn into tears
Rapidly flowing and suddenly stopping
Highs and lows
Calm and raging
Hot and cold
Ups and downs
Break down the walls
Try to let it all go
Flowing into the open waters
Casting your shadow from the suns rays
Setting it free
Ever so carefully....
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Saying “I’m sorry”
    With eyes rolling
       Is more rude then
          Lying to my face
                      Or
“Stabbing” me in the back
RUN
Ashly Kocher May 2019
RUN
Life isn’t forever
Today is a blessing
Friends come and go
Love is amazing
Isn’t is so?
Today show your heart
Let it grow
Go ahead
Run...
Your dreams are slipping away...

Run down
Emotions on high
Swirling together
Losing the drive
That I used to have
But fighting hard
I’m better than that
I will not let it pull me down
I will stand strong
In the end...

Eyes can’t focus

Brain can’t process

With all this hate and discrimination

Sadness
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
What’s that falling from your eyes....
....just my sadness that I’ve kept inside...
Ashly Kocher May 2017
Guilt
Suffering
Ups and downs
All these emotions but not able to make a sound
You've been his support throughout the years
Shedding many droplets of tears
Don't think of what if or if something was different
I know it's tough but you need to keep pushing
Think of you and what you have
No one knows how much time we all have
Keep your head up
Smile on your face
Maybe after all, he would be in a better place...
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Its sad to say
     That we all won’t be here
              One day...
    Take chances
         Takes risks
            Live life to the fullest
                     Because
                     One day...
           We will all be missed
Ashly Kocher Oct 2019
Salt water tears streaming down my face
Pure as the holy water
From the day that you were baptized
Ashly Kocher May 2020
I don’t know if and when I’ll ever feel the same again
It takes time to just to comprehend
Understanding all the feelings and emotions running through your mind
Wishing I could go back and rewind time
But to push forward looking to the future
Without forgetting even though it was torture...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
The only thing helping me get through
Is knowing that we look at the same bright sky that’s big and blue filled with constellations at night turning my sadness into light
Ashly Kocher Jun 2020
A dark room, night light on, as the light is illuminating off my sand bottle collection casting a rainbow upon the wall even though there was no storm, showing love when you need it the most....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Close your eyes and sleep tight
We love you with all our might
This is not goodbye, this is see you again
Your legacy will shine, even though your story has come to an end
She has change the way people live their lives
Seeing the good in people through your young eyes
Jillian has gained her angel wings but we will never forget
This little sassy girl who has changed us yet
The end of her story here on earth may have ended
But her story has so much more left to be written
May you be at peace and soar high above the clouds
Shining your infectious smile and giggles from heaven down
Don’t worry about us
We’ll be ok
In Jillian memory we all shall pray....
A little 5 year old girl has lost her battle with cancer. She was a beautiful and sassy little girl. This poem does no justice to what she has done the past year to change the world.
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
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
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
Walking out the door for work this morning....
....we have no one to say “bye buddy, mommy and daddy love you, mommy and daddy be home tonight...”



Rip my buddy....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Say it loud
Say it proud
Do whatever you feel
Say it loud
Say it proud
Let’s go and make a deal
Say it loud
Say it proud
No regrets
No mistakes
Say it loud
Say it proud
It’s all give and take
Say it loud
Say it proud
Let’s all make a change
Say it loud
Say it proud
Let’s band together and exchange
Say it loud
Say it proud
Stand up and say your name
Say it loud
Say it proud
Well all rise to fame

Like in our early years
When we had to write things down
Three times or more
Maybe saying these words
Will help me believe there true
Just a little more....
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Sometimes not saying anything at all
Has just as big an impact then pouring your heart out and leaving it all on a blank page to be seen...

Scars will always be present but if we sow up the wounds and speak positive from our life experiences, the light will shine through emoting the healing pain of acceptance.
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
We all have SCARS
Whether
         Physical
              or
          Mental
The difference is
If you chose to
Embrace them
Or hide them from the world
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020

Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
All your scars
Show who you are
Try and connect them
See what is shows
It will reveal that you
Have a heart
Feel pain and love
No matter how hard it gets
Feel that inside of you?
It’s beating for a reason
Pumping blood throughout your body
Embrace your scars
Turn them into positive stories
For you are worthy and blessed
To have a beating heart inside of you
Ashly Kocher May 2020
When you feel like your falling apart and your brain is scattered...
....remember a puzzle isn’t complete until all the pieces are put back together...
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
My thoughts are scattered on the floor like an unfinished puzzle board
Searching for the right placement of my life letting my voice to be heard
But there’s no sound coming out
I’m standing behind a closed door
Waiting for my wings to grow
When someday, I’ll be heard, and then I can soar
Soar with my imagination and dreams
Being caught up in the web
As my darkness is captured through the tiny strings of my protection that hangs by my bed
The dream catcher of my mind, filtering out the good and bad of my, scattering onto the floor, like an unfinished puzzle board
Searching for the right placement of my life letting my voice to finally be heard...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
Wearing a facade
All day long
Gets tiring
When all you want to do is

SCREAM!

Anyone else with me?
