Thought.....

I thought......






I thought wrong.....
Overthinking and thinking may cause more pain then just doing...

Dance
Ashly Kocher Jun 2019
Once in a lifetime you get the chance
To take a step back and just
D
A
N
C
E
Not having a worry
Just being free
Letting your emotions
Be wild and carefree

Don’t be afraid to dance in the rain
It will help you release all that pain
The words that cannot be expressed
Can now be pulled off your chest
Through the simple motion of movement
You’ll learn about your self improvement

Just dance
With this
One chance
To
D
A
N
C

Breath

Is one less towards our last
Make every breath count

Hidden Treasure
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Look closely into the tree
A hidden treasure singing beautifully for me
Big and red extravagant beauty
I was standing in my patio reading a poem that popped up In my memories that I had written the day before my dad passed away almost 5 years ago. Something told me to look up and there is a gorgeous bright red cardinal staring at me and singing away.

Smile
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Smile because your happy
Not because your told to do so
Never force anything
Do it out of love and happiness
That’s when you know when your smile will remain at its best

Take a deep breath
Close my eyes
Swallow my pride
Let it out
Open my eyes

RUN
Life isn’t forever

Love is amazing

Today show your heart
Let it grow
Go ahead
Run...
Your dreams are slipping away...

Yet I am Tough (repost)
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Being torn down
Ripped apart
Like a piece of paper
Blowing in the wind
Seeing your confidence being tossed away
Constantly being put down, shamed and causing blame
Who do you think you are, causing so much pain, what do you have to gain?
It only makes you look weak, picking on me
Maybe it’s you that you should speak too and take the shame
Look back at yourself and see what went wrong
I did nothing, I am just me, but here I am singing this song
A sad song, not just for me, but thousands of people who get put down, just like me

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

People like you should get love from the start
Then maybe we wouldn’t feel like world’s apart
If it was up to me, I would stick up for myself
But here I sit in a puddle of my own self pity
Wondering why you pick me, telling everyone that I’m not pretty
So what if I’m not, so what if I’m fat, so what if you don’t like that
I done with it all
I’m not gunna lie
Sometimes I just wanna die

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

This is where I change
Stand up for myself
Stop feeling deranged
Grab hands with those around
Like a childhood game
Let our confidence be found
Let us stand up to the bullies
Let our voices be heard
Once and for all
This is just absurd

Just like me
I get bullied and ripped apart
Just because I’m different
This is me from the start
I am who I am
Isn’t that enough
I guess I’m just worthless
Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am tough

Yet I am.......
Reposting this because people were saying they couldn’t find it. Hopefully this piece will be seen now.

The bridge between
Heaven and Earth
Can be seen
Once the rain ends
The sun shines bright
That’s when
A rainbow will appear
Connecting you with those
Who have passed on
Until it fades away
Waiting for the next
Rainfall to arrive...

Emptiness
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Emptiness
Starving for attention
Trying to protect my aggression
Feeling like a ball and chain
No resistance from this pain
Crawling out of my skin
Crying tears within
Someone please send help
Before I completely fall in...
May 2019 · 335
A quite place
Ashly Kocher May 2019
A quite place
Just you and me
Under a tree
Sharing memories
Just like it used to be
If only you were still here with me

Fallen Soldiers
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Through the rise and fall
You risked it all
Saving our lives
Risking your own
Giving us freedom
But in the end
We owe it all to you
Thank you for your gratitude
Strength, power and love
We bow our heads and pray
To all those who fly high up above
We remember you and your courage
Not just on Memorial Day
But everyday for keeping us safe and free
Here’s to our fallen soldiers, we pray...

It’ll Be Alright

The moons rays will guide our way
Letting us land safely the end of the day

To a new journey
Just you and me
Let’s swim to our
New destiny

On the outs....
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Do you ever feel like your on the outs
Yet in the center of it all
But if you walk away
Everything will fall
Not even caring anymore
Wanting to just walk out the door
Let it all go
***** it all
But not at the same time.....
May 2019 · 133
Eruption

You count the minutes for the water to boil
Now you just wait to see when it will boil over
Tick

Getting closer
Getting closer

Static Eyes
Ashly Kocher May 2019
I see the static in your eyes
Like a blizzard falling from the sky
Blanketing the ground
Not making a sound
No thought process
Can be found
Fuzziness taking over
Stay away and take cover
Flying objects may cause harm
But that static in your eyes
Can’t come undone
May 2019 · 159
I love you
Ashly Kocher May 2019
I just want to say
I love you all the way
To the moon, jumping across stars, floating on clouds, sliding down a rainbow, to the top of the trees, dancing down the leaves, to the grass, into my heart and all the way back....




I love you....

One Last Time (repost)
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Enjoying a song "one last time"
A senseless act of mankind
A happy joyous night turned for the worst
Ended in tragic with a loud burst
Lives were lost
People were hurt
Some are still missing
All alone and scared
One last time they sang her song
Now Manchester is left in shambles and many are now "gone"
Wrote this two year ago about the attack in Manchester at the Ariana Grande concert. Still sad to think about what happened.

Temporary
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Pain is temporary
Loss hurts
It doesn’t get easier
You just cry a little less
With each passing day
May 2019 · 87
Oblivion
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Follow me into the oblivion
Rip my heart out
Stomp on it like sin
Let the devil escape from your pores
Like a bad case of acne ready to pop
Leaving behind scars and sores
Release me from this pain you caused my heart
Why do I stand this
Why can’t we part
I’m captured under your spell without a voice
Trying to speak, yet don’t have a choice
My heart went up in flames
Disintegrating into dust
Particles melt through your fingertips like sand
I’m not sure how much more I can stand...

If it offends you
Ashly Kocher May 2019
If it offends you
Turn it off

If it offends you
Don’t listen to it

If it offends you
Don’t read about it

If it offends you
Change it

If it offends you...
I’m sorry
So many people offended by the littlest things anymore. Why must there be a huge uproar about certain things. This is our world. You don’t have to agree with everything but just be respectful.

Tears for Attention

Come What May
Ashly Kocher May 2019
One day
We will
All fade
Away
Come what
May
But until
That day
I will
Be brave
Seize the
Day
Not be
Shamed
On who
I am
What I’ve
Become
Where I’ll
Go
What’s my
Plan
I’ll take
A
Stand
Live my
Life
Be happy
For all
I have
How hard
I worked
What I’ve
Got
Positivity is
Key
Take it
From me
I wouldn’t
Be here
If I
Wasn’t a
MIRACLE
Or how
My parents
Raised me
Wish
And
Dream
Everyday
Don’t let
Anyone
Put you
Down
Or tell
You
Any other
Way
Not everyday
Is a guarantee
I have
My future
Ahead of
Me

Remembering
Ashly Kocher May 2019
I sit here staring out my window
Warm breeze whipping through the trees
Sound of traffic and birds flying by
Remembering how grateful am I
To be here,again, today
To explore this world another day
Tomorrow is not promised
The past is behind us
Reflecting on this journey
Behind a kid at heart
Just loving life
Take a minute to soak it all in
Remembering how far you’ve come
Knowing how much more is left
To learn, do and explore...
May 2019 · 410
Just Be You
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Live
Laugh
Love
Spread your wings
Jump into the ocean
Talk out loud
Sing
Dance with the angels
Be carefree
Stay weird
Be who you want to be
Build a fire
Watch the embers drift away
Smoke billowing, hugging you keeping you safe
Become one with nature
Catching fireflies
Laying on blankets under the dark yet bright sky
Getting out of your own head
Not a care in the world what anyone has said
Standing up for what you believe is true
Live
Laugh love
But most importantly
Just
Be
You

Martin Towers is Gone
Ashly Kocher May 2019
The building that once stood tall
Was an iconic landmark to all
That feeling of “home” when you saw it in the distance
Came tumbling down in just a few seconds
The countdown began
Anticipation grew
3,2,1
Pops sounded and sparks flew
It felt like a movie scene as it started to fall
Dust clouds ripples through the air
So many emotions felt by all who watched as now the skyline is bare
Even though this landmark won’t be seen anymore
It has left an impact and a footprint on all of our hearts that we will cherish and never let go
Change is in the air, as the dust settles and the rubble lays
We will all never forget this day
Martin Towers, your legacy will always remain...
They imploded this iconic building at 7:02 am. So sad to see.
Ashly Kocher May 2019
The final hours of this building to stand tall
Tomorrow it will be imploded and will gently fall
So many treasures and memories for so many
The skyline will be bare yet oh so heavy
I grew up down the road
Looking at this building as I continued to grow
Almost 34 years this building stood tall
In less then 24 hours it will fall
Many will gather throughout the safe area
To watch this iconic building to be removed
It’s sad to see, oh how creepy it will be, but change is happening, thank you for your company
Farewell Martin Towers, you will be missed...

Silence
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Speaking in silence is merely an art of forming a sentence without being heard or having to be heard...
Silence can speaks volumes even if the volume is on mute...

Me, Me, Me
Ashly Kocher May 2019
There’s always going to be
That one person who needs
“All eyes on me”
Twisting the story of any kind to them
As you rolls your eyes into the back of your head
Thinking “when will this story end?”
Circling back to you and your story
Not remembering what you were saying but oh look, it now goes back to them, again....
May 2019 · 122
Big Bang
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Mysteries are unraveling
Change is happening
Friendships forming
Loving actually
Broken promises
Sincere apologies
Living and learning
Over the years
Ticking time bombs
When will it happen
We are all gone
Big Bang
Ode to the big band theory that ended their superb run on television.

Let it go, all is forgiven
