My hold in reality is slipping away, as far as possible
My mind is diminishing minute by minute
My sight becomes blurry
Silence makes my world goes blank
Then suddenly the world go black
______________________________________________

1. sleep

2. fool

3. captured

4. The reality of things we want to hide

5. Poisonous Love

this is loosely base on me and my life on the moment.

I will be critiquing this piece on behalf of
:iconsuperwritershelp:

Firstly, I like how you have portrayed the prompt. However, I feel that it is a bit cliché.

Now, the crit:
:bulletred: ST = Stanza
:bulletred: L = Line

L1 - Slipping should not have a capital
L3 - 'gets' should be 'becomes'
L4 - 'goes' should be 'go' or 'become'

:bulletpink: General
While at times it is a stylistic choice, I do feel that punctuation would greatly add to this piece. It would improve readability as well as the flow. It's especially important for such a short poem to have rhythm and flow to it.
I feel that the impact of this piece is lost in the cliché use of images such as blurry sight and the world going black. While you could be describing someone strangling you, or fading to unconsciousness, I feel that using these metaphors for sleep lessen the impact of the piece.
