Sleep

Whitenoised

Cocooned together

Into

Panicked first morning light

It circles

In continuous movement

Inside you, and

Inside your private space

Drifting

Time passes

Different phases of sleep, the cozy evening and night where you’re just restless and the morning after where everything‘s hectic and stressed, this is the vibe I get, I get the feeling something lacks this poem in the 7-8th lines, I think you should work on what you want to convey with these lines, because the “inside you” could be interpreted in a lot of ways, which could be taken as not communicating in my opinion, but if you did this on purpose there’s no stopping you.

Overall I liked this poem, has a nice yet weird flow (and structure) while reading in a great way, relatable and realistic, well done OP, keep writing.

Thanks you for the comments I have mixed feelings on the final few lines too I think I will work on them. Glad you enjoyed it.
