You wouldn’t want to drag a ball and chain around everyday, so why carry the hurt of the past that you can’t change?
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
Have you ever tried holding onto a balloon while the wind was whipping constantly past?

Let go of the negativity like that balloon swaying in the wind.... it will eventually pop when you release it and your no longer within ( reach)...

Ban this
Ban that
You can’t have this
You can’t have that
That’s offensive
That’s not right
This is why our world
Will end up in a fight
If you don’t like it
Turn it off
Don’t watch
Don’t listen
If you don’t like something
Don’t do it
Don’t eat it
What is wrong with people lately?
We all believe in something different
We all eat different food
Listen to different music
Like different things
Watch different tv or movies
Do different activities
Why can’t we all just enjoy our differences
Not ban things that others love
Ban this
Ban that
Don’t do this
Don’t do that
Let’s show some respect
As most of us will stay connect(ed)
Let’s face the facts
Bring kindness and love back

I’m lost in the battlefield
Between tomorrow and yesterday
Ashly Kocher Apr 2018
Sowing up my heart
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That others ripped to shreds
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Using black thread
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Showing my battle wounds  
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
A battle wound you want to erase
Forget about it, such a disgrace
Delete it from your memory bank
Unfortunately, it will never go away...
Still healing with my miscarriage and it’s been hard. Seeing friends and family announcing their expecting, or others having their babies. As much as I am truly happy for all of them, I can’t help to think of what happened to me.
“I would be due in a little over a month but I’m just left with empty arms. ”

Be humble

Be kind

Rewind...

Repeat...
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Be who you are
Be who you want to be
Be where you want to be
Be beautiful
Be brave
Be loving
Be kind
Be you
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
Sand under my feet
Waves crashing in
Sun rising
Beautiful colors
Peacefulness within
Ashly Kocher May 2019
It’s a beautiful ending to my day
When I gaze up to the sky
Seeing that star shining bright
Knowing your telling me
Everything’s going to be alright
Ashly Kocher Mar 2021
My story may be broken
But my broken pieces of my story
Make me stronger then the broken pieces that never existed before...
Ashly Kocher Oct 2020
My most beautiful existence is my most terrifying dream that turns into a nightmare with no happy ending, just tears streaming down my face, leaving stains on my shirt and a hole in my heart...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Sometimes
A
Triggered
Moment
Turns
Into a
Beautiful
Moment…
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
Awakened to realize
It wasn’t a bad dream
It was a beautiful nightmare
Causing me no sleep
Some people say nightmares are bad
But I look for the positive to be had
Something broken can help heal the pain
Look for the light that could be your gain
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
A beautiful soul
Yet an opinionated heart
Can work hand in hand
Only if you make it known
Right from the start
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
A cardinal singing a beautiful morning song
High up in the tree
Brighten our morning for you and me
Since today is apparently national haiku day
Ashly Kocher Jun 2020
When I see a storm rolling in
The rain starts to trickle down
Drop
By
Drop
Then a full blown rainstorm
It eases my mind knowing a rainbow is in sight
Full of colors illuminating the sky
Brightening my day
Knowing that your shining your beautiful rays
For everyone to see that your passing by to say hi
A beautiful dark storm turns into glorious painted picture in the sky...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Just because the picture lacks in color

Doesn’t mean it lacks the beauty
Ashly Kocher Feb 2022
Take in the beauty all around
Even on the darkest days
Beauty can surely be found
The glimmer of light is always around
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
When you look to the sky and find beauty within after a major storm has passed now creating a beautiful watercolor painting in the sunset
Ashly Kocher Sep 2020
The reflection in a puddle
May be a little distorted or muddled
The beauty still lies within
Ashly Kocher Dec 2020
The thing of beauty is closing your eyes and imagining your path is walking among the stars, letting the moonlight shine in your hair, and dancing along the galaxy...
Ashly Kocher Mar 2018
Two bodies

Become one..

Everlasting love is made
A couple words with a whole lot of meaning..
Ashly Kocher Oct 2018
With each passing day
The feeling of becoming a mother
Is slipping further away
This saddens me that my chances are slim to none....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
When your trying to be discovered
You blend right in
When you don’t try so hard
That’s where your journey begins
Ashly Kocher Nov 2020
Before the Election Season...
DID YOU:

Like that celebrity for their music, or roles they play in movies and on television?

Like your neighbor(s) and town?

Love your family for who they are?

Like the connection of friends through Social Media?

Like me?

Like them?

Like us?

Before the Election Season....
You liked a lot, for who EVERYONE IS.....

Indifference of opinion is a part of life but hate and blockage shouldn’t be one of them...

Stay Humble, Stay Strong, and always Stay You...
Ashly Kocher Feb 2020
When the time is right

Your voice will be heard
Your words will be said
Your heart will be full
Your life will start again

You will be found
You will be heard

When the time is right...


Just wait.....
Ashly Kocher May 2019
Take a deep breath
Close my eyes
Swallow my pride
Let it out
Open my eyes



I’m ready to begin...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2018
Pull the covers over your head
Escape the world by laying in your bed
Spiral into the dark of your dreams
Follow the path and just breath

Take a deep breath
Hold it in
As you exhale and let it go
Release the demon that lie within

We all have baggage
We all have sinned
If you take the time to sort it out
You can start over
Rewrite your story and
             Begin
                Again
I’ve been writing a lot lately. Just have a lot of thoughts swimming around my brain. Hope everyone enjoys!
Ashly Kocher Oct 2022
Endings are beginnings
Beginnings are endings
Yet, you still embrace the growth of your journey
Even during those difficult stages in your life
Not changing, rather growing
Fulfilling your heart desires with love
Surrounding yourself with positivity and everlasting happiness
Fully embracing one’s true self
Ashly Kocher Dec 2018
Is the end the beginning or the beginning the end
Either way you look at it I’ll always be your friend
Closing one chapter
Opening another one
Doesn’t mean the end of you
Just the beginning of a new
J
O
U
R
N
E
Y
Beginning and ending with the happiness of you...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2019
The beginnings end
The ends beginning
Somewhere in the middle
It’s got me singing
Storylines flowing
From the depths of my heart
Don’t read it backwards
Just begin from the start
I’ll keep you hanging
From start to finish
Keep your mind running
On this treadmill that runs
Constantly through my mind
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
Everyday of our lives
We have tried not to hide behind the mask and just to be ourselves
Now we are all living behind a mask, everyday, being forced, to be someone else and to stay away...
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Wanting something so bad
Yet being hopeful
Feeling rejected
With each passing month
Being so thankful
For what I have
But the one thing I can’t
Is completely unbearable
Some people just don’t understand
It’s hard to express into words
How I feel about certain things
This ways heavy on my heart
Knowing it’s not in my hands
Unfortunately, I can’t change that
Wanting to have a child but after 8 years it still hasn’t happened...
Ashly Kocher Jan 2020
Being rich doesn’t mean you have a lot of money
Being rich means what love fills your heart and makes you happy ....

In essence, everyone is rich in their own way...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2018
Maybe I’m being saved again by God
He saved me once when I was born
Maybe he’s saving me again knowing my body couldn’t live through becoming pregnant
Everything happens or (doesn’t happen) for a reason
I’m
Being
Save
Again....
Maybe maybe not?
Ashly Kocher Nov 2019
Stay Humble
Stay Strong
Stay You
Be known for exactly who you are
Humble
Strong
You
Ashly Kocher Mar 21
Believe in yourself
Let fear melt away
Troubleshoot the doubts
That get in the way
Follow the process
Trusting yourself
It all will turn out
If you believe
It’s your time to breakout
Ashly Kocher Jul 2020
The moment when you start believing in yourself, is the moment that you can start believing in your own dreams and trust yourself...
Ashly Kocher Sep 2018
I believe in you....
....do you believe in yourself?

....Do you believe me in?
We can help each other out....
Ashly Kocher Dec 2017
Twinkling lights
    
   Upon the tree
            
                 Make a wish
                    
                       And
              
            Just
                      
      ­              BELIEVE
Ashly Kocher Jun 2020
And
     Suddenly
          She
             Began
                     To
         BELIEVE
Ashly Kocher Apr 2020
I fake a smile
I force a laugh
EVERYTHING IS GREAT!!!
Did you believe that?
Ashly Kocher Jul 2019
You think you know
But you have no idea
What’s going on with me
Or what’s inside my head
Be my friend
Empathize with me
If you know me at all
That’s all I want you to be
My friend
Not my enemy
Don’t turn your back on me
Ashly Kocher Jul 2021
Selfish people need to take a step back and look at the whole picture of life not just themselves and the media. It’s poor taste of character in my opinion. No one deserves that treatment… Respect is what we all need…
Ashly Kocher May 2018
“Sometimes you just have to put on makeup, do your hair, wear glasses                           and be someone else for a little”
Ashly Kocher Apr 2019
That feeling I get when you
“Look at me, touch my hand, hold me tight, kiss me goodnight”
Is the best feeling, because it’s with you...
Ashly Kocher Nov 2017
The best feeling in the world is
Waking up next to you
Our good morning kiss
Our glancing looks at each other
A kiss on my forehead
Our tight squeeze hugs
And so much more
I love you always and forever my love
Ashly Kocher Apr 2017
Our first kiss, in the back of your truck
The Ferris wheel lights shining bright
You leaned in and risked it all
Whoever knew that I would fall
Fall in love with my best friend
My stomach was full of butterflies
As you gazed into my hazel eyes
Who knew this was the beginning of our life
That we will grow old together until the end of time.
Ashly Kocher Sep 2019
Walking barefoot through the sand
Pulling me closer, holding my hand
As the sun sets for the night
You whisper to me
“I love you infinitely with all my might”
Capturing the beauty and essence of our love
Drawing a heart on the sand
I’m so glad I found you
I married my best friend...
