I tried on the dress I wore last prom 
And I panicked 
I didn’t even wash it after that night 
For fear of it getting ruined Fear 
Anxiety 
Nervousness They’ve stained it
 Not even Oxi-Clean could get those out
 That dress was already tight as is
 Black and suffocating I was a wreck that night 
Full of fear, anxiety, and nervousness
 It spilt from my sweat-glands, I stained it I tried on the shirt I wore in September 
And I was hopeful
 Of course I washed it after that evening
 I bathed myself too Hope 
Love
 Safety They’ve stained it
 Not even Clorox could get those out
 That shirt was tight and revealing as is
Vulnerable and mustard yellow I was happy that night
 Full of hope, love, and safety 
 It spilt from my sweat-glands, I stained it With these two pieces of clothing
 on at once Six stains are upon me
 Fear, anxiety, nervousness, hope, love, safety 
I fear that it could end, I hope that it will not
