Lost
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Living in a world where you always seem lost, gets you nowhere...
...maybe you should change your way of living and find what’s been lost....

You are my...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
You are my (sunshine) on a cloudy day
You are the (light) in a dark room
You are the (colorful) leaves to my tree
You are the (blue) ocean water to my sand
You are the (red) blood to my heart
You are my (world)

Be the Sunshine
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
In a field of beautiful, colorful, bright roses
Be the sunshine to the one who is dull, not so strong, and losing its color
.....that, my friend, will help it grow bigger and better, just by showing it love...

Story of everyone’s Life
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Always doing the work
(Never get rewarded)
Doesn’t do anything
(Gets rewarded)
How is this fair?
(It’s not really)
Story of everyone’s life
(A simple good job or thank you would be nice)

Colors Swirl
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I close my eyes
The colors swirl
As if I’m looking through
A kaleidoscope of my life
Painting the perfect picture  
Of my hopes and dreams
As I close my eyes
Falling fast asleep

Trolls
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Our words bring us together
Connect us through our writes
Haters complain and dislike
Contructive criticism is always allowed
If your just going to be rude, don’t make a sound
We all write because we love to share our passion
Please be nice, don’t come down crashing
Haters will always hate, trolls will always troll, but be the one who will risk it all
Write what you feel, say what you think, love yourself, those trolls will shrink...
Away if we just ignore their antics

Perfect
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
10 years ago, I was asked...
“Did you have fun on our little getaway? “
I replied... “yes it was a great time”
He then said.. “ but it wasn’t perfect”
As he suddenly dropped down to one knee and said
“Will you marry me?”

And now, the getaway, was PERFECT...

Calming chaos
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Through the rain,thunder and lightning...
Take a moment to find the calm within the chaos of the storm
Relaxing your mind, body and soul
Just like the storm intended it to be
Powerful, bright and loud... yet beautiful, silent and majestic

Broken Pieces
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Feeling broken
Purposely caused by the beauty of pain
No longer dancing through the hourglass of time
Picking up the broken pieces
One shard at a time

A Wink....
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Two love birds sit high on the cable
I named them Dale and Harold
After my dad, and my husbands dad
Who have both passed on
But continue to give us signs,
Protecting us, even though they are gone
Never look for signs, they will come to you
When you least expect them, or when feeling blue
A cardinal, a penny, a song, a wink...
Whatever you can them, their there in a blink
Two love birds sit high on a cable
I named them Dale and Harold.....

Glimpse of Heaven
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I close my eyes
Pass to the other side
Getting a glimpse of heaven
As all of the angels are flying by
Calming, peaceful, and puffy white clouds
Hug my body as it slowly brings me down
Back to my bed, getting out of my head
Opening my eyes, bringing me back
We all die a little every night
It’s the lucky one that wake
Even after seeing the light
After closing their eyes
Goodnight

Fallen Angel Now
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Your car sits vacant across the street
I get the chills every time I see
The dozens of roses laying on your car
Thank you for remembering me...
Like the roses, I died too
I know it was way too soon
I lived as long as I could
But God needed me more
It’s ok, I’m ok, I’m good
Now that I’m gone, everyone can hear me
Loud and clear just like I hoped you would...
Take it from me, I wasn’t well
I slipped, I’ve fallen, I’m a flying angel now...
Wrote this for my neighbor who took her life. Her car is still parked across the street with roses on it in remembrance of her from her boyfriend and family.

One Star Dancing
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
After a long hard day at work
I gather my things and head out the door
Stopped for a minute and looked up
The sky filled with stars but one caught my eye
I swear it was dancing as I started to walking by
A warm gentle breeze hugged me tight
As this little star was twinkling oh so bright
Why that star, among the sky that was filled of so many
Was it trying to tell me something or telling me to just breath
In that moment I felt comfort and fatigued
Like something was taking over me, but in a good way
Sometimes things happen that you can not explain
But look for that one shining thing that will help guide your way
It was definitely a surprisingly great way to end my crazy work day

Blank Canvas

Your ***** cup a of rinse water
Colorfully painted a surprise picture
Brightening up my blank canvas
Masterfully displaying a rainbow of colors into my world...

Thin Ice
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Walking on thin ice
Never crashing or cracking the layer
Ceases to amaze me
How do you always make it through
Without even getting splashed
Even with a drop of water
You always come out completely dry

Chances
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
How many chances...
.....can one person get?....

So over it...

Sincerely,
A disgruntled manager
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Why is it....
That people who continuously mess up
Don’t do anything right
Complain they never have money
Don’t pay bills on time
So forth and so on...
Always get second, third, fourth, fifth, etc chances...
Always are coddled and get everything handed to them....
Somehow they always come up smelling like roses....
But yet, people that bust their ***, do anything and everything possible, work hard, etc..
One wrong thing and we get criticized, screamed at and told..
“ now come on, you know better, you shouldn’t have done that...
***!
Anyone else with me?

Depression Strikes
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I’m sorry that I had to leave
I had many demons inside of me
My time here on earth was up
I am not sure why...
I’m sorry I caused you so much hurt
All my pain has gone away
Just know that I’m ok
But I left you in the wrong way
I left broken, but now that’s you
Broken inside, speechless, and alone on eighth avenue
A place we called home for many years now
Loving and supportive neighbors that are all mourning somehow
As the day, the nights go by, remember I’m always here, by your side
I see the flowers piling upon my car
I thank you for the love from afar
I know your sad, let me dry your tears
I’ll see you soon, I’ll wait and count the years
I’m sorry again I had to leave
Just know I love you and I’ll protect you while you grieve...
Found out my neighbors daughter, who just turned 21 in November, lost her battle of depression and took her life. I wrote this in the perspective of her talking to her family and friends.

I’m sorry part 2
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
But saying
“I’m sorry “
Just to reconcile
Not actually meaning it
Continuing to do the same thing
Really shows a lot about your character

Living in Silence
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I tried to talk to you
But got no response
I thought you were rude
But that you were not
You didn’t understand
Couldn’t comprehend
Looked at me in confusion
Eyes glazed over, like water over sand
Then something clicked
I raised my hand
Waved it at you
A smile, is where it began
You weren’t being rude
You just didn’t respond
You didn’t understand me
Because silence is all you know
Even if you can’t communicate in the same way
A smile, a nod, a wave, is just ok
Don’t jump to conclusions about someone you don’t know
Living in silence, is harder then you could imagine or know...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Going to sleep
Waking up
Pouring coffee
Into your cup
Cream and sugar
Make it oh so sweet
Start your day
My mornings complete
Same routine
Everyday
Spice it up
Add a dash of flavor today
Pinch of this
Pinch of that
Today, I am on the right track
Going to sleep
Waking up
It all starts with you
Get ready, take the risk, and jump...

I’m Sorry

Black Thread, Heart
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Rip off my skin
     Break through my bones
            Grab ahold of my heart
Feel the beating
           Dripping blood
Look for the black thread
           That mended my heart
Showing my scars
          Revealing my story
                Never afraid to make a new start
Your story starts deep within your soul
Don’t hide it, let the world know the real you, in full

Shockwaves Ignite
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Touching his hand I got a shock
I look at him and said
“You send shockwaves to my heart”
He then replied
“The shockwaves we’re always there”
I looked into his eyes and said
“ But baby, your the one that made them spark, and continue to ignite my shockwaves in my heart “

Trickle Down Effect
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
The trickle down effect
Like filling a jar full of loose change
Hoping one day to pave the way
Making a statement, taking the stand
Different perspective, being a better (wo)man
Glass half empty, glass half full
Some superstitions, breaking the rules
Whisper down the alley can be fun
But remember the consequences, you’d better run
Some things good, some things bad
It’s all about the life you create and have
Be that one to make a change, stop the cycle, or you could be detained
Fill the jar of that loose change
For someday you’ll save enough
To stand up and be happy with the way you have changed
Your life.....

Opened Wound
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Even though it’s been many years
The wound is still open, crying blood tears
Trying and trying and trying to forget
All of those years staying so silent, oh the fear and the regret
Crying behind many closed doors
Screaming in anger
Feeling breathless, climbing up to those empty floors
The road to nowhere, dead end street
Trying to turn around and just walk away
Sewing up my emotions, swallowing my pride, breaking the silence that I’ve hid inside
Little did I know this journey would create something beautiful out of this past nightmare I had lived
For many years I hurt myself and wanted to fall off the grid
But there you were, standing in the wings
Waiting for the right time to swoop in and heal this fragile thing
You mended my heart, put the pieces back together
For you, I am thankful, always and forever
Life can be hard, but I feel that in my chest
It’s a beating heart, nevertheless
You will encounter hurt, love and despair
But you’ve always got someone who will always be there
Even though it’s been many years
The wound is still open, crying blood tears
Trying and trying and trying to forget
All of those years staying so silent, oh the fear and the regret
Ever so often, the blood drips slow
Like an iv in my arm, giving me life again, ya know
Your the medicine I longed to have, you’ve given me life, when I was down and sad
The life I live, is more then I could have ask for
I have you to thank, for you asking me to be your girl
Even though it’s been many years
The wound is still open, crying blood tears
Trying and trying and trying to forget
All of those years staying so silent, oh the fear and the regret
The wound is basically healed, because of you
Thank for you stopping my world, breaking my silence, making my heart love and beat faster
All because of YOU

Love and Respect
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
What are you?
What am I?
Are you straight?
Are you bi?
Some are gay
Some are transgender
Others are questioning
But does it even matter?
Who cares what your “label” is, why do we even make labels a thing
We are humans
We are one
Doesn’t matter
As long as your having fun
Spread love to everyone
Because when it comes down to it
We’re all born the same and it all starts with

You Have It Coming
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I can see it
In your eyes
The despise
Just like water
Under frozen ice
Hard shell
Yet falling apart
Slowly melting
Going back to the start
It’s the same cycle
Over and over
Freeze and thaw
Freeze and thaw
Until the day comes
When you finally fall
             You have it coming....

Oil and Vinegar
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Oil and vinegar
Don’t mix well at all
Or do they?
They can be mixed together
But then settle apart
Just like friendships
When lies are told
So remember be smart

Empty Eyes (repost)
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Looking into the emptiness of your eyes
Hearing nothing come out of your mouth but lies
How do you keep all your stories straight
A pathological liar I guess is your fate
Turn on the “charm” when your deep in high water
Yet fall back into the slump of your twisted stories and sorrow
How do you live with yourself being this way
I’m done, I’m fed up, I don’t give a **** what you say

Shattering Heart
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
My heart is shattering into a million pieces
I don’t even know what to do or say
Right now we’re just taking it day by day
My little buddy, I don’t want to suffer in pain
I just want snuggles, and kisses and watch you play
I love you Stewie, well get through this together
We will just see what happens and pray you’ll get better
Our 11 year old cat was not given great news. He may have cancer. We are trying medicine to see if that will help for now. Less then 8 months ago we had to put our other cat down. I don’t want to go through this again.
