Inner Child
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
The inner child in me
Is waiting to be released
Awakened from a dormant state
Awaiting to take the leap of faith
Sleeping slumber
Arising so fast
Welcoming me
From the
Past

Settle on top
A pile of leaves

It Sucks
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
So many feels when I see social media posts:

“We’re expecting “

“Gender reveals”

“Welcome our new baby”

I try to put on a brave face, smile and be happy...
But deep down, I’m breaking more inside...
Why not me, why not us?

It’s a daily struggle to say
“I’m ok”
“It’s ok”
“ No worries”
“It’s all good”

Because, honestly, ITS NOT!
It *****!
It Hurts
It’s Heartbreaking ...

But, that’s what I, we, have to deal with on a daily occurrence....

Not Alone
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
Unspoken word
Your not alone
Shedding light
Unto your darkness
Walking hand in hand
Even when we are apart
Forever and always
Your in my heart
The past
The present
The future
All are in existence
When hopes and dreams
Become a reality
Then, too, you will start to
Believe in spirituality
Of that which you cannot see
But only in your dreams...

Break the Silence
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
My silence is louder then your words any day  
It’s ok not to be okay
But what’s not okay is to feel uncomfortable
Talking about things that are not ideal or causing friction in any way
Break the silence
Turn the volume up high
Breath a sigh
Of relief

Feeling the weight being lifted off of me...

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...

Shatters
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
My head is fogged with tears that haven’t reached my eyes
Leaving me feel anxiety deep inside
Swirling around like a snow globe filled with glitter
Slipping from my hands
One drop and it

To my Baby...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
I’m sorry you couldn’t stay around
But Heaven you have found
You gained your wings
Now fly high in the sky
But forever in my heart
You will always stay
As your spirit walks next to me
Each and everyday
Today is 7 months since I lost my baby and had my miscarriage. I will
Never Forget that day and I will
Never forget you my sweet angel baby.

Never Forget...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
“I’ll never forget the beginning of May, the day you grew your wings and flew away...”
My husband made an ornament that has angel wings and a halo and floating in the back say 5-11-2020. The day I had my miscarriage. Even though our baby won’t psychically be with us, we will still remember you this holiday season.
Reposting this again bc it means so much to me and it didn’t get a lot of views.

Realistic Dream
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
I close my eyes
I’m going down a path
Slow then fast
Slow then fast
Images started popping up
A babies face
Blurred pictures
Trying to speak to me
I open my eyes and it’s gone
Slowly close them
It’s starts moving on
Surrounded by beautiful trees with no houses on sight
The blurry pictures come to life
I close my eyes
I’m going down a path
Slow then fast
Slow then fast
Slipping into a realistic dream
Of those angels speaking and surrounding me
As I drift off into my amazing dreams...

Numb Emotions

Hurt, Heal, Be ok...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
It’s ok to hurt in the privacy of your own home
It’s ok to heal within the silence of your own thoughts
It’s ok to pretend to “be ok” in the public’s eyes

Do whatever you need to

Hurt

Heal

Be ok

But make sure you feel all of this and conquer your heart’s emotions until you feel love within..

Own Branch
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
I want to sit under my own branch that covers me...

I want to be surrounded by (other) branches that support me and love me...

Come sit under my tree
Spread love
Like the roots underground
Fly away like the leaves
That are dead to me

Before the Election....
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
Before the Election Season...
DID YOU:

Like that celebrity for their music, or roles they play in movies and on television?

Like your neighbor(s) and town?

Love your family for who they are?

Like the connection of friends through Social Media?

Like me?

Like them?

Like us?

Before the Election Season....
You liked a lot, for who EVERYONE IS.....

Indifference of opinion is a part of life but hate and blockage shouldn’t be one of them...

Stay Humble, Stay Strong, and always Stay You...

Replay
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
“ Why would you want to remember that day?”

“ because in my mind, it’s on constant replay, I can’t get away...”
Hard to continue to relive that one moment in your life, wishing you could forget it but it plays in a constant loop in your head....

Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
To fall
Asleep and slip into
A dream
That turns into a
Nightmare
Only to wake up
Realizing it’s actually
Real life and it happened
Not a beautiful nightmare
But a haunting experience
That you can’t erase
From you memory

No Sense
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
Discoloration in a snowy
No signal picture
Black
And white
Words decide
Pixilated billboard
Red
Swollen eyes
Moving forward
One
Day at a time
Tiny bubbles
Floating
To the top
A big surprise
Mouth
Has dropped
Candles flickering
Wind
Blowing still
Falling asleep
Dreams
Are real
Waking up
Before
You drop
Standing on
The edge
Of a big
Rock
Mindless
Entertainment
Makes no
Sense
But maybe it
Does
Thirst quench
Hydration needed
Gulping down
Fill my
Body
With this
Drink
It’s never to

Spiritual Levels.
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
I think we’ve connected to hard lately because we can be healers for each other. We have similar stories and struggles and the connectivity of our spiritual levels help us conquer our inner thoughts and feelings.
To be so connected to someone is more powerful than our minds give us credit for in the moment

The Burn Effect
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
Even though your flame may burn dim
Maybe be blown out by the cause of wind
Doesn’t mean that you should give up hope
For you can relight the flame
Burn bright again
Regaining light
For future
