Ashly Kocher
A warrior speaks through a vulnerable state
Through heartache and pain
A broken smile can be strange
Her passion and love for music and dance
Has given her life a second chance
Never seeking for pity just the awareness to spread
Of this broken piece inside her head
The music, the lights, the love, the friends
Has built her up and restored her again
The lights go down, the curtain raises up
The first note blares as the fog and lasers turn on
Her smiles fills the stage
Her passion can be seen
She is a warrior
Even behind the scenes

Stay Humble
Stay Strong
Stay You

She is a warrior who gets a second chance at doing what she loves to do

If the past fills
Your thoughts
Like a thief-in-the-night;
Stealing your words
All the time;
Maybe, it’s time
To leave it All
Behind.

Hang on
To the Good,
Though.

There’s no use in dwelling.
There are voices inside
Yelling;
"Stop them,
Now."

"Now."

No more, no more.
Send them away,
To a place
Where they
Are free to
Rest,
Forevermore.

They’re dark waves,
Crashing ashore.

Do not hate them,
Do not shame them.

Just maybe,
They will
No longer
Intrude,
As you
Attempt,
To sleep.

Sleep soundly
Tonight.

Evermore.

Misery grows tired.
In these seemingly endless nights
We find a poor home for eternity
Caged upon our mattress
Damp from the night sweats

We wake now to a different sky
So make your bed
Take a breath
Be the sun and


Rise.
