Wake Up, Bk

Such a beautiful sleeper but yet a life filled with nightmares; A demon fighter since her younger age; I applaud this princess for her strength. Since birth, the flash from cameras have overexposed your privacy, And left you a public flame, waiting for that moment you’ll ignite like your mother, If allowed, I could show you the wonders of the world, outside the seven you’ve seen already with your royal family of music, Just one request, B.K…..Wake up. Sadly the ruffles in your bed of life, Have prevented as good night’s sleep; For this reason, you feel no one can help you straighten out your bed sheets; I however disagree. I understand that times are tearful since the passing of your best friend, in the shape of a mother. From a distance I’ve noticed the devil creep up in your family; I acknowledge that this book of private affairs is not for me to read, but if allowed; I’d be willing to write better chapters for you in the future. One in particular would illustrate you kissing cloud nine, Reminiscing on a career that you were passionate about; If this path follows your mother, then may your voice resonate with the masses, And display a true angel on earth. I sympathize with you, that negative forces in this world can shift your stairway downward; However, like the demons who constantly try to awake the skeletons in my closet, We’re all human, and for every fall, A rising is waiting, for when you’re spiritually ready; Let that marinate in your sleepless nightmares until you wake up, B.K. I anticipate the day when we meet outside my imagination, And the world views you in better light, That’s not dimmed by the shade of media; Understand that these images of a conversation between us are nothing less than encouragement; Just like “The Voice”, would sing so eloquently from her lips; The greatest love of all is love for yourself; If these words don’t carry enough weight, just look around; I’m sure you’ll recognize some ebony queens in your family who symbolize support. Remember that your fervent heart awakens for a reason, And the nightmares shall dissolve as you rise to awake, B.K. A true turning stone you will be.

Holy sh*t dude lol. We have completely different styles mainly as far as length of poems but I still like it. It's nice to read stuff so different from mine.
