There’s something about you
I don’t know what it is
Our connection is real (I feel)
Hope to collaborate with you and make a new friend, in the end....

I am a down to earth girl
Emotions are real
Our connection seems to be powerful
Let’s say and do what we feel

Concrete faces
Stone cold hands
Chain linked hearts
Solid quick sand

How can we conquer the world when the world is currently conquering us....
Ashly Kocher Aug 2021
Self torture from within
Frozen in fear,
Locked in
Constant battle between yourself
Always cautious, having doubt
Translucent energy surrounds your soul
You have the power, the control
Emotions flare at any given time
Just remember your ok, it’s all fine
The walk of life changes in time
No two paths are alike
Timing is everything when the time is right
You’ve got this, you have the fight
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
Why is it on a constant loop
Continuously on replay
That tragically, emotional day
I’m reliving it  constantly
It won’t go away...
The day I lost
My baby

You can’t control the things that are out of your own hands but what you can control are the feelings within your heart…

A cool breeze shakes the leaves
Crisp mornings enchant my nose
Birds chirping like the fireworks of the rushing world
Time is precious
Try and stop time
Take a deep breath
Take it all in
Fill your body with your surroundings
Be the beauty that engulfs our lives
Stand on the edge of your own destiny
Step off, soar with the wind and see where the cool breeze will take you

I should let it fly out the door

Let it go, all is forgiven

Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
For countless days, weeks and months
You are away, but we are all ok
Knowing you’ll be back soon one day
We are all so proud that your following your dreams
Doing what you love, watching you succeed
Yes, I am lonely, but our boys need me to be strong
Your always on my mind and in my heart where you belong
The saying goes “ distance apart makes the heart grow stronger”
I count the minutes to see you, I can’t take it any longer
You make my heart melt, put a smile on my face
I thank God everyday for giving my grace
Grace to be humble
Grace to be strong
Grace for putting us together
Grace for our boys
Grace for our love
Putting us in the right place
Right where we belong
I love you more then you know
What can I say
I proud of you each and everyday!
I wrote this for a friend who’s husband is in the military and she’s raised their boys by herself.

Count on me
When you need a friend
Count on me
Just take my hand
Count on me
I’ll lead the way
Count on me
Come with me, this way
Count on me
To be a listening ear
Count on me
Never to judge
Count on me
Always to be there
Count on me
Count your blessing with me
Always you can....
             COUNT ON ME
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Count your blessing and all you have
Love one another and have their back
One simple phone call to hear your voice
Brought tears to my eyes and love in my heart
To hear your voice and know your okay
Made me feel special in every way
I will always support you and be there for you
Friends stay together since we've know each other since preschool
Stay strong and keep your chin held high
I will never walk away and just say goodbye
One day soon we will get together and may cry
But you are my friend and I will always love you big guy....
I wrote this a year ago for a friend is unfortunately is doing time for a dumb mistake   I’ve known him a long time and support him when others have turned their backs.
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
If I could have just a couple
More minutes with you by my side
I would tell you everything I’ve held onto on the inside
I make a wish and blow on the dandelion
In hopes that it reaches up to Heaven
To tell you “how much I love and miss you”
I’m sorry we didn’t have more time
But you know how much I loved you and continue to love you
One day we’ll be together again
But for now I send my love to Heaven above
Until I get to see you again....
Missing my dad a lot today... almost 4 years without him...

Like a crack in the sidewalk....
.....so is our friendship...
.....It may be repaired, but the cracks will
Always be there.....
Ashly Kocher Jun 2017
A cracked mirror distorts the image
I don't have to look at myself in disgust
Overweight
I don't feel pretty
Apply makeup to my face
Does it help?
Look into my eyes
They tell my story
Of someone who is screaming in the inside
Trying to escape this body I have
But the image gets clearer when you fix the broken pieces
Looking deeper within yourself
This is me
And who I am
Finally I feel human again
Love yourself for who you are on the inside.
Ashly Kocher Aug 2018
We all have cracks and feel broken
The biggest crack that can be deceiving
                A smile on your face....
Smiling shows happiness, sadness and fear....
A cracked image is often misleading
        Covered up with a smile
Never knowing if it’s real or forced
             Broken or cracked....
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Find the cracks in the broken pavement
Grass grows to mend the break
Water runs between the cracks
No matter what you do you can never replace the them fully back...

I crave to have what others have but when I take a step back I suddenly see, I have much more than I could imagine
I have you and me

What we
   create each
      and everyday
        Comes to life
          from our minds
              in some way
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Every step
Every minute
Every memory
Is another sentence in our book
Creating each chapter to our life’s story

The creative process is a journey in which we follow our desires within ourselves being empathetic as empaths, naturally from the raw state of mind...

Forming the words from
Inside your head
Critics will critique
What you feel
What you said

Take the criticism
Good or bad
Put it into words
Happy or sad

Opinions matter
But stay true to yourself
Don’t doubt your abilities
Of your true self
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 Aug 2020
I wear a crown upon my head
Not because I’m a princess or a queen
I’m not even anything in between
Yet I wear I crown of thorns
For the representation of struggles I’ve endured
Reminding of situations of where I came from and how far I have come
This crown of thorns is a constant reminder of who I am and where I’m meant to be
It’s invisible to most, but surly I can see..
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
It’s cruel world that knocks you down but only the strong can pick themselves up and try again...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Just look around
And you will see
How the world is crumbling
Right beneath our feet
Make a change
Stand up for you
Write down what you feel
It’s the right thing to do
Change won’t happen
Over night
But it’s the little things
That will make this world right
...............Again........

Ashly Kocher May 2018
Cry
There are moments in life
Where you remove your mask
Cry and have emotions

It’s not a sign of weakness
It’s for those who try and be strong
All day and night long

Don’t hide behind the facade you create
    Breakdown
           Scream
               And shout
                  It’s called being a human
Cry

I cry diamonds made of sea glass reflecting the shine from the suns rays then bury them in the soft, grains of sand to put a smile on someone else’s face...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2018
Crying isn’t a sign of weakness

Crying is a sign that we are

      Human
Cry those tears. Happy or sad. Your human.
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
Crying tears in reverse
So no one knows how sad I really am
Holding them in like a shaken up soda bottle
Ready to explode...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
Blood filled tears
       Slowly falling down my cheeks
                Crying love from the inside out

If you can cry under water
Would your tears float?
Will it make a sound?
Would anyone know?
Would anyone hear?
Would anyone care?
Would you dive in and comfort them?
Drowning in your our tears
Shedding your emotions into a pool of fears...

In your eyes I see our future
Just like a crystal ball
Leading us on the right path together
Reverse Haiku (7,5,7, instead of 5,7,5)
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
Inadvertently
I wanna cry
Upside down
So that my tears
Never hit the ground
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Find me
Curled up
In front of
The fire place
Shedding a tear
Since your not here
By my side
Snuggled up
Next to me
Looking up
At me
With your glowing eyes
Melting my heart
Oh I wish we didn’t have to say
Goodbye
Today is 4 months with our cats binx. Miss him so very much.

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....
Ashly Kocher Apr 2021
Cut me down like a dead flower, throwing it to the ground, something lost but someone found, giving me life again, simply astounding...
