But then my fingers do the typing
My words just flow
Yet people don’t appreciate it

Violence and Fear
Ashly Kocher Aug 2019
When you fear to walk outside, go to a public place or even have fun anywhere
Innocent lives, taken before our eyes
For no other reason then their “ethnicity “
Are you for real? Is this for real?
Even the place where I live, there have been 30 deaths and countless injured just blocks from me in less then 2 months....2 months!
Shots fired, places destroyed, many displaced, hearts broken...
When will the violence end, when can we all just be happy again...
Like a tornado people are spiraling out of control, taking innocent lives and even children for no real reason at all
Other then the color of their skin, their beliefs or opinions
We’re just going to cause violence and show disgrace
It’s sad, it’s heartbreaking, it’s disgusting, it’s wrong
We all need to find peace after all

Come and Play
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Come and play with me
Sliding into a world of infinity
Endless possibilities and
Treasures to hold
Magical adventures will arise
Playing tricks right before your eyes
Surrounded by bright colors of this beautiful place
There’s so much to do in this wide open space
Feeling like a child playing in my homemade fort
Being transported to a fantasy world
When you and I play we slide down to the                    Infinite
         Imaginative
and
           colorful
         fun-filled life together as
                           One

I Don't Care
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
I don’t care
What y’all think
I’m Stronger then you know
So just keep judging me
Make your jokes
Make fun of me
Again, I don’t care
What y’all think
I do this for me
Fiction or fantasy
May not work for you
But it definitely works
Just fine for me

Quicksand
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Waking along the warming beauty of the beach
When all of a sudden
Quicksand is swallowing your feet
The more you struggle
The harder it will be
To release yourself and be free
Stay calm
Believe in yourself
For then you will dig yourself out
And freely be walking again

Key Dreams
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
You’ll find the answer to your dreams when you unlock your heart with his key...
Finding that one person who can unlock your heart and allow yourself to open up and follow your dreams.

Catch a Break
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Can I just catch a break...
A break in the wind
To fly high on a kite
To reach the clouds
To soar high above
Slide down a rainbow
Into a *** of gold
Only to catch another break
Just forming words.....

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...

Cancer
Ashly Kocher Jul 2018
Sometimes life’s plans are interrupted by tragedies
One day your perfectly healthy and fine
In a blink of an eye... your world comes to a complete halt
Fearing the worst
Hoping for the best
Your entire world around you is crumbling down
You don’t know which way to turn
Who to lean on to cry
Giving up hope
I just want to die
Every obstacle you face
Challenges you and your loved ones to the edge...
To the breaking point
As much as you appreciate all the love and support
Your tires of hearing..
“Your in our prayers”
“Stay positive “
“It’s God’s plan”
“He doesn’t give you more then you can handle”

Enough is enough
Nothing is changing
It’s getting worse
I just want to give up

My hourglass full of sand
Is slowly coming to an end
I will not give up
I’m stronger then I know

I will fight to the end
Hope for the best
No matter what happens
I’ve been pushed to my limits
          I will not give up....
Wrote this for a friend who has been battling stage 4 breast cancer....

Watching Time
Ashly Kocher May 2018
Staring at a clock
         Watching time pass
Holding onto something
         That was never going to last
Don’t stop and watch the clock
        You can never get back
The time that’s been lost
        Make every minute count
Or it’ll all be in the past

Eruption
Ashly Kocher May 2019
You count the minutes for the water to boil
Now you just wait to see when it will boil over

Getting closer
Getting closer

Please Pray
Ashly Kocher Jun 2021
Dear Lord,

Wrap your arms around this man
Give him his wings and bring him home
Be with us, who he leaves behind, give us the strength and piece of mind
Knowing he’s in your presence now, we pray for a peaceful descend…
In your name we pray, Amen….
My brother-in-laws grandfather ( who’s more like his dad) is dying. Please send love and prayers their way. Thank you.

Burning Bridge
Ashly Kocher Jun 2018
Have you ever tried crossing a bridge
         That is on fire and burning.......
Do you try and get burned or simply walk away and never look back?
                 I’m at the halfway mark burning from the inside out
Ready to jump off the burning edge
Just to find a way out
Sick of all the petty *******
I thought we were all better then that
I should have stay back on solid ground
Rather then trying to be stuck in the middle
With absolutely no way out.....
Feel so trapped....

Darkness
Ashly Kocher Oct 2017
Is there light at the end of the tunnel?
Can you find light within the darkness?
Open your eyes and open your heart
To the darkness around you
Only to find yourself in the center of the spotlight

Blessings, family, love, support,6 years ago, life changed, long road, endless journey, I can only imagine, home, long week, friends, tears, laughter, holidays, fire,  new house, rental home, hotel stay, Seibert benefit, weddings, renewing vows, vacations, happiness, sadness, hashtags, pictures, videos, family time, and hope.
Just some things that my family and I have endured over the last 6 years since my dad had his stroke. Since then it's been a long and crazy road but through all the hard time there were many good times we shared.
Through the holidays it will be rough not having my dad around but he will be with us in spirit. We will have an empty chair for you to sit with us. Love you and miss you

Pain and Passion
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
Pain has no ending
         Passion for something
Helps it melt away
         Just for a couple minutes
Ashly Kocher Feb 2019
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

See, Hear, Taste, Smell...

What’s that smell?
I can smell, lies.....

I Say
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Regrettably
I say:
I’m sorry
For allowing myself to pour my heart out
Where my heart on my sleeve
Show my emotions
Be happy with my work

Regrettably
I say:
I’m sorry
If you don’t understand me
If you don’t like my work
If you don’t like me

Respectfully
I say:
I don’t care
And
Thank you
For pushing me to work harder
Write better
Love myself more

Honorably,
Ashly

Comedy

I think it hilarious

Put a smile on your face, even if it’s forced

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…

Revealing You
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Fogged up mirror
From a steaming hot shower
Wipe off the streaks
To reveal your true self
Fresh and clean
All natural
Vulnerable you
Nothing to hide
Except the secrets inside
Let it go
Show your scars
It shows how beautiful you really are....

My heart flutters

When you look at me

Touch me

Whisper in my ear

Giving me goosebumps
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sliding it inside of me
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Making music, between the sheets
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
******* to this sick beat
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sweet love, bodies colliding
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Juices flowing, lick it up
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Turn it up, throw me in the shower
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Call me your ***** girl
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You want to stick it where?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
You made me a freak
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Do whatever you want to me

Let’s go all night
