Sleep... (Critique/Comment Please)?

Staring at stars

Headlights of cars

As I dissolved

Into blackened clouds

Nothing solved

Faceless crowds

Eyes on me

As I fly through the cosmos

Pressure floods this deadened sea

I scream across the night

Heavy winged, blackened crows

Cut through underneath

The world

In black and white

I begin to dissipate

See through

Then invisible

Lights out

Grinding teeth

In my straight jacket

I quiver

As stars turn to padding

Nothing is left

But dead space...

    gosh poems about sleep always want to make me do just that

    i think you have some good lines here but the poem could definitely be improved,

    In my straight jacket

    I quiver

    As stars turn to padding

    i definitely like that, it's unique and it's a good way of making us realise something, especially nearing the end

    the start is where the readers attention is grabbed and that's when you need to pack a punch to make people stick with it, i think you'd need to have a little more impact with your start as it's a little listless

    but overall it was an enjoyable read, there are many writes about sleep (especially at this time) and yours isn't really much different but it's not derivative and that's the important thing
