Worth
Ashly Kocher May 2022
She can deal with stress and carry heavy burdens.
She smiles when she feels like screaming, and she sings when she feels like crying.
She cries when she's happy and laughs when she's afraid.
Her love is unconditional.
There's only one thing wrong with her.
She forgets what she's worth!

Am I a Mom?
Ashly Kocher May 2022
Are you a mom?
How do you answer that
When you have no physical proof of human life
No, I mean yes, no I’m not…
It’s just easier to say No
Then to answer with Yes
Since you know it’s followed by a millions questions you’d rather not answer
So quietly you carrying in your heart your little Angel, trying to be strong everyday…

Ocean Eyes
Ashly Kocher May 2022
Eyes are like to ocean blue
Crashing like the waves, crying a few

Tears a of sadness
Furthermore
Every emotion different at a certain time or place

Lucky One
Ashly Kocher Mar 2022
Wandering alone through the emptiness of emotions
Worthless feelings of nothingness fill your soul
Numb to the invisible pain your body holds
Yet, triggered expectantly, no warning ahead, truth be told  
Energy is always at 1000
Brainwaves always crashing around
“Your the lucky one who calms me down”

High/Low Tide
Ashly Kocher Mar 2022
High tide hides it all
Low tide reveals everything so small
Rippling waters
Interlocking waves
Blanketing the tiny grains of sand then washing away
Tiny treasures to be found
Otherwise, lost again when the high tide comes back around

Those different layers of life, have showed you the way…

February 14....

Valentines Day.....

365 days a year to say
“I Love You” in any way...

Why wait for this one “Special Day?”

When you can show love and appreciation throughout  the year
Making every moment count

(Valentines Day)
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Invisible being that lives inside
Trying to escape but it just hides
Deep down in my soul
Rather to be unknown
Causing chaos like a nightmare you can’t control
It’s called anxiety, depression, stress, ptsd, etc

A Good Cry
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
Ever just wanna cry
Having tears fall from your eyes
No explanation on why
But, just to sit in a dark room and cry

Catching emotions in the palms of your hands
Dripping like a leaking faucet
Falling through the broken cracks in your fingers
Collecting like a puddle after a hard nights storm

Ever just wanna cry
Having tears fall from your eyes
No explanation on why
But, just to sit in a dark room and cry

Sometimes, you just need a really good cry
With absolutely no explanation on why….

Suddenly, Dream
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
Suddenly I’m transported into a garden full of beautiful, vibrant colors surrounding me. The aromas of the flowers, plants and wildlife encase my nose, tickling my senses. I’m walking, which feels like slow motion, scanning the garden and taking in the beauty of nature. I stumble upon a water fountain off the beaten path, there’s a bench, so of course I take a minute to sit and relax. Trying to figure out where I am and why I’m here, with no one around but I’m calm not scared. I feel the energy of someone appear like it’s rising from the fountain waters causing me to break out in tears.
I suddenly realize why I’m here….

Some Days

Some days are good

But always remember

Maze
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
You find yourself in a maze

Journey
Ashly Kocher Jan 2022
Here I stand
Without a care
Making choices
On this journey
Right or wrong
I don’t know
But it’s my path
My destiny
One step at a time
As my heart beats
One beat at a time
Day by day
Having no fear
Heading into the unknown
Never knowing where we may go
Yet, having excitement along the way
Because everyday is a new day
Full of new adventures
Leaving your impressions imprinted for everyone to see
Let’s see where this journey will take me…

Anxiety Ridden
Ashly Kocher Dec 2021
Anxiety ridden
Hanging on the ledge
One foot off, I’m on the edge
Of losing my mind
There is no time
For me to retract these emotions of mine
I am strong but I am also human
Trying to let go of what cannot be changed
Positive and negative energy needs to exist
Which has made me become grateful of this bliss
Though it sounds odd, maybe strange
Yet, to me, this is perfectly sane
I am who I am
Let it be
Anxiety ridden
Hiding behind these emotions inside of me

Seen or Unseen
Ashly Kocher Dec 2021
Walking in water
No footprints left behind
Walking in sand
Footprints appear
Yet when the waves come crashing in they disappear
Either way, seen or unseen, your path is still clear
Following your hearts desire will let your journey to have no fear, in what lies ahead…

Hearts full of friendship and love
