It’s my “Happy Juice”

Heaven on Earth
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Have you ever thought...

Maybe us on earth, actually live in Heaven and everyone in “Heaven” actually live on earth?

Just a little mind tease for the day...

Rise and Fall
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Rise and fall
Yet through it all
You will always rise
Aiming for the prize
Even if you fall
Multiple times

Open Book
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
To be an “open book” is one thing


But to be able to just read in between the lines



Is completely another thing....

Not to be
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Was not meant to be
But you lived happily
Creating memories
That you will carry
Always in your heart
Even if the time was short
Everything ends up meaningfully
Although, in the end, was not to be

Angels

America
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Let me set the scene....
Grocery shopping 11:30 am...
Pennsylvania, Giant Grocery Store...
Older lady in sweat pants and sweater, wearing a tiara( yes tiara)
Is on Facebook live ******* about something...
I first though she was angered over “white rice” and the ingredients being in two different languages
Not the case....
It was over
“White Race”
She wants to shop where it is only white people and only in English.....
Let me ask a question.... what is the national language of America?
Answer: there is actually no official national language of America.
Among all the profanity spewing out of her mouth she was wasn’t even making sense in anything she was saying
She wanted to shop where only white peoples shop, as she yells “This is America“ and as the cashier is of Asian decent and the cashier we were at was African American
She only wants English to be spoken or written as there are families speaking in Spanish behind her in line  and most of her grocery’s are in two languages
She, I guess, felt entitled because she was wearing a tiara ( your not royalty)

WHAT IS THIS WORLD COMING TOO?
If you don’t like it...
Turn it off
Don’t go out of your house
Move somewhere else

This is America
We are diverse
We are multicultural
We are one
We speak many languages
We ALL fight for our freedom no matter our race or background

Get off your high horse and shut your mouth if you don’t have any facts to complain about in this day and age
Do we all agree on everything in this world, No we don’t and we all have our opinions and that’s perfectly fine
But to openly complain about absolutely nothing is immaturity at its finest....
I pray for you and all those who think it’s ok to make a scene for no reason at all and to think it’s ok to do so....
So to have seen this pan out today. It’s people like that you make the rest of us look bad in life. #america #one # poetry

Teardrops
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
If you


Can count


Your teardrops


Then your


Really not



Sad...
Just missing someone or something that you didn’t haven’t enough time with in your life....

Tears don’t mean your sad, they mean your missing something no matter how much time has passed...

See, Hear, Taste, Smell...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
I can see it in your voice
I can hear it through your looks
I can taste the fear in your eyes
What’s that smell?
I can smell, lies.....
Play on words...
Feb 2020 · 79
Quiet
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Just a little quiet
A lot on my mind
Nothing is really wrong
Can we turn back time?

My feelings for my love
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
I never thought I could love someone this much or be this happy in my life
Your the first thing I see when I wake up and the last thing I see when I go to sleep
The way you kiss me
The way you look at me
The way you hold me
The way you love me
The way you surprise me
The way you care for me
The way you.... I could go on and on
My love for you is indescribable and more then you can imagine
Our journey in life is crazy, wild, fun, simple, loving, adventurous and amazing
I love you always and forever, to our  
“ happy place” and back
You and me to our happily ever after
Our song “ God Bless the Broken Road”
Because it let me straight to you....
Everlasting love, for good, we have each other to be a constantly hand to hold
Like the day we said our vows that connected our hearts forever.
Brent, my husband, my rock, my life, my heart, my breath ( even when breathless), my everything
I love you always and forever, my best friend....
Just my feelings put into words about my husband and our relationship.

Into the Unknown
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Let me know
Know when your ready
Ready to begin
Begin a new journey
Journey into the unknown
Unknown of what lies ahead
Ahead is our future
Future to opening doors
Doors that will help
Help lead you to your dreams
Dreams of the imagination
Imagination that keeps you believing
Believing which is not impossible
(Im)possible is possibly just a dream
Feb 2020 · 34

Memories
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
A picture is a memory that’s worth a thousands words but  sometimes can be pushed away and blocked from our memory bank....

It’s ok to forget certain memories but in times you need it the most, unexpectedly, will be filed to the front of your index flooding your memory, filling your heart with joy....

Pictures are worth a thousand words
Memories that will never be forgotten just escape, at times, showing up when you least expect, like your “unwritten journey” in which you always have tucked away and never forget....

Poetry is my Muse
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Silence grows
A bit confused
I am living in the moment
Or ******* within my muse

Unwritten words
Float inside my head
A little less stressful
If my poetry is left unsaid

Should I write
Should I stop
It fills my heart
When my poetry drops

I feel alive
Getting it out from the inside
Freeing my silence
In which can cause surprise

It’s not always easy
Expressing your thoughts
The sound of silence
Is louder then you anticipate
Feb 2020 · 49
Live

Toxic
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
I thought I felt the fire burning inside of me yet it was only him sexually abusing me....

Over seven years of keeping quiet because I “ thought I was in love” was only keeping a secret from everyone else

Toxic relationship was just how it seemed but then you came to rescue me
The day you kissed me, my fire ignited as it continues to grow as my love for you too

You saved me from a toxic and unhealthy past showing me love at last

I can’t thank you enough for being there waiting in the wings
That’s when I felt love, for the first time, when
You
Rescued
Me...
#sexualabuse #savedme #rescue

I don’t talk about this ever. Not a time in my life I want to think about or remember but I have found love for over 11 years now and he has rescued me.

Alone
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Ever feel alone in a crowded room yet everyone is talking to you or maybe subconsciously talking about you through hidden jokes making a idiot out of you...

Once and for all
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
Hello?
Is this thing on?
Can anyone hear me?
Do I even make a sound?
Sometimes I feel like I'm trying to hard
Left in the background of someone else's thoughts
Do I even have a voice or an opinion to make
Maybe I need to turn up my volume for heavens sake
I am not the one to always say what's on my mind
Hopefully that will change in do time
For now I'll sit back and let the pieces fall
Holding in my feelings, for now, maybe to be heard
Once and for all
Jan 2020 · 56

I Am Me
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Fear of changing who you are
Physically
Fear of disappointment
Fear of discrimination
Fear of change
Acceptance is fear itself
Being one person yet feeling like another
Wanting more then what you are now
Regardless of who I am
I am still a human being
I am still a child of yours
Young or old
Boy or girl
I need more
I want more
I am more
Don’t fear me
I already fear myself
I just want to be me
Whatever way that’s meant to be
I maybe saying goodbye to one person but another person is emerging
Help me
Not hurt me
Please
I am me
I’m tired of lying
Empty lies
Not feeling myself
It’s finally time
I shed my skin
Not feeling like who I am
The time is now to come alive
Not fearing what I feel I have to be
Not a monster, not a freak
Just be me
I wrote this for all those who fear why the world, friends or family will think of those wanting to change. It’s a scary world sometimes and we all need to be supportive and help those who feel like they can’t speak or be who they want to be.

Empty Conversations
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Spinning on broken wheels
One
On
One
Empty
Conversations
If you only talk to yourself
You can only let
Yourself
Down
Opening up
Feeling another’s support
Can help fix you
Fix those broken wheels
Fill up those empty conversations
Heal opened wombs
Giving you peace of mind
One conversation
May help heal you at this time...

The heart
