What Happened to our World?
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Remember when:
Technology didn’t exist
Children played outside
You could leave the front door unlocked
You didn’t have to look over your shoulder in fear
Everything was cheaper
Even with divide there was understanding and respect
You didn’t have to worry in fear about your family
You weren’t scared to do things anywhere
Your neighborhood was safe
The world was safer

What happened to our world?

Last word first again
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
I trusted you
You failed
Failed friendship
Ship has sailed
Sailed away
Away from me
Me and you
You will never be
Be true
True to yourself
Yourself you have lost
Lost friends
Friends have gone
Gone away
Away for good
Good for you
You have lost
Lost yourself
Yourself is gone
Gone away

Cold does Bother me
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Snow cover tree limbs
Look like fully flourished ***** willows
Swaying with the wind
Making it scatter snow flurries again
Looks so pretty but it’s so cold
I can’t be like Elsa, I can’t “let it go”
The cold does bother me, I hate it so
Dreaming and feeling of the warm summer sun
Oh wait that’s the heater I’m sitting in front of
Beautiful colors of the grass and the trees
Nope, not here, all I see isn’t green
Everything’s like an old time movie in black and white
If I click my heels three times, and close my eyes so tight
Maybe it’s just a beautiful nightmare as I sleep soundly through the night
Tomorrow’s a new day, may it turn colorful and bright, not dreary and white

Empty Eyes
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

Two Lonely Birds
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Two lonely birds sitting in a tree
In the distance a church steeple can be seen
Snow softly falling
All is as quite as can be
Why did the pick to stop in this tree
Dark black feathers glisten against the white falling snow
Having a conversation with each other as you hears their cries
Maybe they stop there to reflect about their lives
High up in a tree with God but their side
          Two lonely birds sitting in a tree
      In the distance a church steeple can be seen
             Be like these birds
                                         Stop
                         Look around
           And see
Take it all in, reflect and be happy
When your  ready, spread your wings and see
Where the wind will take you next but always remember
No matter what, you land up where your suppose to be

Chances
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
So many chances
Yet you still **** it up
Always say I’m going to change
Yet you manage to stay in your own same ways

Drowning
Ashly Kocher Mar 2019
Sometimes the ocean waves
Is all that I hear
Drowning away
In my own puddle of tears
Gasping for a breath
Facing my worst fear

See No Difference
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Two children
See no difference
Run and play
Show love everyday
Not the same
Different in every way
Complete opposites
Yet so much the same
See the good
Within one another
Don’t discriminate
Just love each other
Not afraid to be themselves
Turn their backs
Walk away
Two different colors, not the same
Holding hands
Light and dark
They don’t care
They have loved each other
From the start
We’re all the same
Under our skin
Spread love
Not hate
We can all
Learn something
From a young state...

Peotry Veins

Poetry runs through my veins
Like blood pumping to make my heart beat

Feeling of being surrounded by friends on Hello Poetry
Even though we’ve never met in real
Life
Y’all  understand and accept me for me
For that reason, I’m truly blessed as can be

Silent Pain
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
I deal with pain and numbness everyday
Most of you don’t know it, but it’s okay
Silent pain no one can see
I am who I am
And I am me

YOU
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
YOU
I am
Uncertain about
Somethings
But one thing
I am most
Certain about
Is you

Cherish your parents...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
When you lose one parent at a young age
See your other parent growing old
Deteriorating day by day
Getting frustrated with themselves
Not being able to do the things they used too
One thing you never want to hear from them...
I just want to die and be with daddy already...
Your heart drops and you feel helpless
Even if it was just said in the heat of the moment or just in troubled times
It still feels like someone put a knife in your heart
What do you say?
How do you make it better?
Just be there for them, love them and cherish whatever time you do have with them
I just want to say... I love you mom and I miss you dad...

Good Morning Kiss
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Good morning kiss
Starts out like this
I lean in to start my day
He looks at me and says
“ why are you lingering”
As he caresses my breast
I immediately melt and want to undress
Good mornings start with a kiss
Sometimes ends up and unexpected bliss

Unsteady Tightrope
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Some days feel like
I’m walking on a tightrope
Unsteady and unbalanced
Shaking in the wind
One wrong move
I’m falling with sin
Ready to give up
Take the plunge
Regaining my balance
Steady and strong
Every two steps forward
I’ll be taken back one
Even though some days are unstable
Making you feel weak and vulnerable
Just keep saying to yourself
“I’ve got this, I’ll continue to fight on”
One step at a time
A leap of faith
Believe in yourself
You’ll be amazed...
Feb 2019 · 76
Looking Forward
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Looking forward
Never looking back
If you continue to look back
You’ll drive right off the track
Spinning out of control
Heading backwards, losing mobility
For you should always look forward
Then hopefully your vision won’t be blurred

The Game, Survivor
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Just a small town country boy
Trying to beat defeat
As a castaway on one of the biggest shows
Living out his survivor dream
The struggles, the pain, the endurance, the fun
Building alliances until the work is done
Outwit, outlast, outplay
Until the sole survivor, you will become, taking the title and forever remain, a castaway...

Difference of Opinions
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
In difference of opinions
Can open each other’s eyes
Connect you on a different level
What you will learn
Can take you by surprise
Open your heart
Listen with your ears
Different opinions
Lessens your fears
Even if your just scratching the surface
While your connecting with me
Diffence of opinions
Understanding is key

Love is a Puzzle
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Love is like a puzzle
Always trying to fit the pieces together
Flipping, moving and trying to make them fit together
But once you find that missing piece
You’ll come across a beautiful masterpiece
When all the pieces fall into place
That’s when you’ll find the true meaning of
           L
               O
                   V

Your Eyes, Fireflies
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Your eyes
When they meet mine
Send out shockwaves of fireflies
Lighting up one by one in the night sky
When our eyes lock, it’s like shooting stars passing by
It feels like no one else is around
Just us, only us, in a crowded room
My love for you still continues to bloom
If that’s even possible, you surprise me everyday
Forever and always my love for you will stay
Always connected, in your eyes, like fireflies, lighting up the night sky

I don’t need flowers
I don’t need candy
I don’t need a card

All I need
Is your love
All I need
IS YOU

Happy Valentines Day my Love

Silent screams from behind the glass
One wrong turn, going to fast
Tears rolling down your face
Filled with so much anger and disgrace
Feeling like I’m in a bad dream
Horrific nightmare taken to the extreme
Dark haze, but no sound to be heard
My soul is rising like a soaring bird
Flashing lights can be seen filling the air
Why me, why us, this doesn’t seem fair
Trying to blink my eyes and wake up from this dream
I can’t believe this is happening to me
Where am I going, who are you all?
Rolling me into a room, don’t let me fall
Tag my toe with my name
Laying on a cold metal bed frame
As for now, I’ll lay right here, scared, alone and in fear
I am gone, but I still feel here
Give my love and my heart, to my dear
I’m sorry for what I did, even if it wasn’t my fault
All of our lives, especially mine, has come to a halt

Silent Screams, the Morgue

Prayers for cancer patients
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Sitting alone in a chair
Needle stuck in my arm
Medicine being plugged into my veins
2 hours of this and then I’m done
Only noise is from the machine
Pumping medicine into me
Hopefully making me cancer free
Please say a prayer for me....
Hours of this a week
I will get stronger, this I will beat
Wrote this for anyone who is going through chemo and fighting cancer. Prayers to you.

I, You, Me
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
When I look at you
     When I see you
         When I feel you
              When I kiss you
                         When you look at me
                     When you see me
                When you feel me
        When you kiss me
                   Sparks ignite
                         Butterflies fly
                              Fireworks blast
                  Our hearts explode
        The fire burns bright
Everything in the world seems right
        When I
            When you
                When we
                                     Become us...

Scars into Stories
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
All your scars
Show who you are
Try and connect them
See what is shows
It will reveal that you
Have a heart
Feel pain and love
No matter how hard it gets
Feel that inside of you?
It’s beating for a reason
Pumping blood throughout your body
Embrace your scars
Turn them into positive stories
For you are worthy and blessed
To have a beating heart inside of you

Ocean, deep and wide
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Her eyes swell up with tears
Like the ocean, deep and wide
Filled with surprises through her deep blue colored eyes
Masking up her emotions, like a fish hiding in the night
From its prey, only coming to realize, she’s always seen, just not always in the spotlight

Crocodile Tears
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
You have the world at the palm of your hands
Yet, here ya go and mess it up again
Yes, I said again, you’ve had multiple chances over the years
We all see right through those crocodile tears
Your time is up, you are done
Hope you enjoyed your lap of luxury while is lasted
All good things are coming to end, here’s to you having no more fun
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Our world is like a cup of coffee
Some black
A little cream
A little cream and sugar
Lots of cream
Lots of cream and sugar
All different
All unique
All tasty
But in the end we are all the same
Brewed the same way
With water and coffee beans
Just like humans
Under it all we bleed red and are covered in skin
Doesn’t matter what color or how you take it
We are all the same in the end....
Feb 2019 · 123
Your Story

Self Destruct

Power in your Hands
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
For the power lies within your hands
Do with it as you please
Place your hands upon their neck
Or maybe
Hold their hands and help them out
It’s your choice
Your choice only
Just remember, whichever you choose
The consequences will follow behind
Always two ( or more) options
But think before you do
Good choice
Bad choice
Wrong choice
Right choice
Just always think before you do

Every Rainbows End
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Every rainbow has its story
Every rain storm comes to an end
Every day the sun rises
Every night the moon glows high
Every day there’s hustle and bustle
Every night we all sleep tight
Every night we all say goodnight
Every morning is a blessed sight
Everything happens like it should
Creating a beautiful storybook
Of the lives we have been given
Chapter by chapter
Book by book
Story by story
A rainbows story that never sees  its end

My Time on Earth was Up
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
Don’t worry about me
I’ll be ok
My time on earth was up
So I had to go away
I’ll keep watch over you
Each and every day
Even though I’m no longer here
Still do continue to pray
Pray for peace
Pray for love
Pray for all those who have left
This precious place and rose above
I’m still here with you
I never really left....
If your ever scared
I’ll be there
Guiding you where you need to go
Even from heaven, my love will still show

Breath
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
From the first breath you take
Is one less breath towards
The last breath that makes
Us one step closer
To our permanent home
That awaits
When we take our last breath
From the first breath that we take
