Cluster of Thoughts
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
A collection of thoughts
May cluster in your brain
Formatting them into files

    Love
         Happiness
                          Pain

But most importantly
The memories we all have made

Regardless of where you are today
Open up the files, the collections in your brain
From time to time reminisce, but always...

Remember who you are
                 What you’ve been through
How far you have come
                  From yesteryear to today...

Break down the Walls
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
I won’t back down
From the wall
You push me up against

I will find another way
To break down the walls
To get my revenge

Breaking down the walls
May be a big feat
Try your hardest
Take that big leap

Leap over the wall
When you stand up for yourself
Don’t let them hold you back
Because your on the right track

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?

I am beautiful
I am strong
I am loved
I am happy
I am me

We all can be ******* ourselves
But deep
Down inside
Be happy
For who
You are
This is who your meant to be
Shed some
          POSITIVITY

With a Twist..:
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Painting with a twist
May sound like fun
But I am not an artist
But let’s see what I’ve done
I’m such a klutz
I spilled the paint
All over my canvas
I’ve created a masterpiece
Without even trying

Writing poems can be such the same
To come up with words or a story
That you think doesn’t make sense
After your done, you read what you wrote
After all, maybe I am a writer
Without even being known...
Hmm... kinda works. I kinda like it. What do you think, I wasn’t even trying...

Naturally
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
To find love
Sometimes can be hard

Don’t seek
It will come to you

Everything happens for a reason
The reason of life
When love finds you

When you love yourself
It will happen naturally
It will come to you

Who You Are
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
To hide who you really are to the world
Find an opening to tomorrow
       Crack a window
            Open a door
               Show the world
                    Who you really are...

Risk
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
Don’t be afraid if you may fall
Just breath and count to 10  
Deep breath in...
Deep breath out...
1,2,3
4,5,6
7,8,9
10
Repeat again...
Don’t be afraid to risk it all
Don’t be afraid if you may fall
You’ll never know what your capable of
If you don’t take the risk and just jump

Is this seat Taken?
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Be mindful when just sitting next to someone on a bench
In a park
Waiting for the bus
Outside a store
Wherever is may be
Always ask “is this seat taken?”
You never know if that person was sitting next to a loved one who is no longer “here” anymore

Lost but Not Found( repost)
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
I’m crying for help
But without making a sound
Am I’m really crying for help
If my mouth is shut and hands are bound
Someone please find me now
Otherwise I’ll be left in a box called
“Lost but not ever found”

Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Hearing a cardinal
Singing away in a tree
Is a good reminder
Someone is watching
Over me....

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.

Causing a Scene
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
Crying fake tears is an ugly trait
You need the attention to real in the bait
When something doesn’t go your way
You cause a scene, then everyone will look at you and say..
“Are you ok?”
     “What’s wrong?”
           “Stay strong”
                 “You’ll be a better person”
Oh look... your back in the spotlight where you always want to be....

Friends
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
True friends
Are always there for you

Real friends
Know when you need a pick me up

Great friends
Make you smile without saying anything

Friends come and go
Come and go
But when you need a friend
They are always there for you
149 · Mar 2018
Fake
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
When you come home at night
Wipe your makeup off
Let your hair down
Change your cloths....

Are you still the same person
You just were or are you living two different lives?

Living in disguise
Isn’t always a bad thing
But being the same person
Regardless of what you wear
How you wear your makeup or
How beautiful your hair looks...

Just be who you are always
No matter the atmosphere
You don’t want to be noted as
The fake one.....
Don’t be fake, be real. Be yourself always.

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

What’s old is actually new

Trust
Ashly Kocher Mar 2022
Trust in yourself and you will see, as clear as the reflection staring back at me
Into the waters so deep and blue
Like the tears falling from your eyes, sad but true
Creating a puddle in which you stand
Trusting in yourself that your are strong enough to withstand the drowning feeling of love at your feet
Trust in yourself and you will see…

Crying

Crying isn’t a sign of weakness

Crying is a sign that we are

      Human
Cry those tears. Happy or sad. Your human.

Which Path?
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
As I stand looking up at the sky
I often wondered why?
Why the sky is blue
The clouds are white
The path to my dreams are in sight
Way up in the sky
Are two white paths lookin completely different
One being straight and narrow
The other wide and curvy
Which path would you take?
Would you be happy with the choices you make?
Life is about twists and curves
When will it be my turn?
My turn to lead the way
Make my dreams come from away
It’s about the choices in life that we make
Taking the road less traveled
Standing your ground
With bumps and turns
Throughout our journey
To make you become aware of your surroundings
Take a step off the beaten path
Create your own walkway
Making your mark and memories last

Haters and Bullies
Ashly Kocher May 2018
Haters
                                            Bullies
                Are fake
Secretly hating themselves
Turning the attention to someone else’s dreams
Pulling them down
Tearing them apart
Crushing their confidence
All because they can’t get what they truly want
Why hate on anyone, support them
If you don’t like or understand them
DON’T FOLLOW THEM!
We all have opinions and that’s ok
But why degrade someone else (your just wasting your time) and your life away
Why hate or bully on anyone
Just walk away.....
Love thy self for who you are
One day we’ll all end up in heaven as shining stars

Curve balls of Life
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
In life
You are thrown many curve ***** throughout your life
It’s your choice to let it
    Fly past you
       Hit you dead on
          Catch it
             Or let it disappear into the sky..

What’s your choice?
Curve ***** in life help you grow as a person
No matter if it’s good or bad
Don’t let the opportunity fly past you and sail into the wind....

Truth
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Truth be told
   Truth be had
      Truth be said
          Both good and bad

Truth is love
    Truth is free
       Truth is words
          For you and me

Truth be kind
    Truth be cold
        Truth be hurt
            For all the strong and bold

Truth is happiness
    Truth is warm
        Truth is true
            Braving you from the storm...

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.

Stars in my Eyes
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Not a cloud in the sky
But there’s stars in my eyes
Twinkling bright
Throughout the moonlit sky

Want to know my secrets
My hopes and dreams
Look deep into my hazel blue eyes
Unlocking the magic
Of my demise

Heartbreak
Love
Devotion
And dreams
Can be seen
If you take a look
Into my eyes
And just believe and dream
With me

Invisible Cuts
Ashly Kocher Jul 2021
Silent words cut sharper then a knife
Not leaving a wound but yet a scar
Invisible phrases plastered all around
The words hurt, but they forever will terrorize you
No matter how strong you are, you’ll always feel like your never getting off the ground…

Moment for Yourself
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
Taking a moment for yourself
Listening to all the noises from the outside world
As your thinking of nothing in particular you look to the sky and see the suns rays beaming through the clouds
You take a photograph of a still memory that you think "just looks cool"
Later to realize, that something in particular you weren't thinking about, really was something
A loved one from heaven was sitting with you in that moment you took for yourself
Was that warm breeze a hug from them?
Was that butterfly a kiss from them?
Either way you weren't alone and never will be
Your loved ones surround you and will guide you always
Even in that
"Moment you took for yourself"

Tears of Joy

Pressed against mine
I simply melted
Into a pool
Of my own
Tears of joy
