What is This?

Welcome to the first blog I have created outside of a class assignment. I figured I was tired of practicing my poetic skills on facebook statuses which seemed mundane and pointless so I decided to create this (although I am not sure this will be satisfactory either). Nonetheless, I have deemed this as my personal journal for poetry. Enjoy to the few who happen to stumble upon it and feedback is welcome.

The Eighth

The favorite number from ever forever,
For me the past that lies before,
The road seen many times together,
And yet there seems to be something more.

I can't pull away and can't leave the tracks,
Ongoing and going with tunnel vision I see
Only the line ahead keeping me from being free,
Keeping me from being me. No, just relax.

It is me it must be, for on this path I
Continue until the stampede in my chest
Stands taller than all of this distressed
Tossing and turning and driving my mind's eye
Beyond before during and everlasting
Never stopping breaking and only surpassing:
