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

OXI
Where goest thou my sullied Grecian Princes?
Where takest thee now, thy perfect soul?
Dost thou ken the sharpened knives are drawn to blood thee
To slice thy tomorrows, rent un-whole.
Dost thou know thy tangled gambles are undone now
The visigoths, then angered, are now wild.
Preparing to dismember thee completely,
Preparing to dessicate thee now my child.
Who will sing thy piteous song of supplication?
Who will bid to share thy brimming cup of blame?
Whence are they who once proffered compensation?
….Vanished one and all… in crimson puffs of flame.
Hollow now the howls of lost redemption,
Empty now expressions of regret,
Gone are all the notes of promissory
Blown about the halls in winds of cold forget.*

Carpenter hands
Painter's pants
Shirts stained with
Tough white - marks that
Stump even Billy Mayes
(this poem not endorsed by Oxi-Clean, the easy stain remover)
But that's okay -
It gives you character
The way that each pizza
Crust has a different flavor
Texture, color, thickness
It's all a new experience
Right?
Soft-white glow of your
Phone at night
The window to the left
Letting in the streetlight
It's nice, you and I

I’m stubborn, I know
So don’t try to change me

Oh baby, those blue eyes
They see right through me

I just need some oxi from my baby
You’re so far away
It’s driving me crazy

I think I’m fallin’ for you
Oh yes, I’ve fallen hard for you
We don’t know how to trust the same
But it’s okay

If we get into a fight
Let’***** pause and never hit play

Don’t make this a game
Please talk to me the same

Oh how is this going to work
We both can be such jerks

But I love it, it’s so amazing
Yes, we’re going to be misunderstood

I think I’m fallin’ for you
Oh yes, I’ve fallen hard for you
We don’t know how to trust the same
But it’s okay

I’m loving you
I think you feel the same too

I promise
I promise
To cherish you
Protect you
Love you
Hold you
If you would
Treat me like it’s understood
By a friend, in her honor.
Mind's ***** flows oxi clean slashing peens
Dope to the microphone fiend rakims dream
Rebirth through hip hop without the seeds
Performed the deed this is a soldiers creed
Demons havoc wrecking shop til ya drop
All monies on the floor ultimate heist
Rolling the dice no snake eyes pop eyes rise
Once the spinach magnifies  begins a new die
Killed the old me to see the new me mirrors of TV
Ain't nothing but a false demo-graphic
Censored cuz of the deadly *****-graphics  
onto ya mind ******* ya cells til it swells
Let the thought cartel keep pushing them shells
Well ain't nothing you can do to *****
A troop I'm quick to shoot minus the boots
Combat been to Iraq yeah few bodies to rack
Became a rhyme mack once I pimped the flows
Rock the shows got girls throwing they clothes
Ya know I keep it disco seventies funk
Bass in your face straight rattling the trunk
Back to back like Jordan dunking with *****
Space age jams chillin' with fams music crammed
Into ya earlobes all around the globe abodes
Rocking til they off the axis maxin' taxes facts is
I don't need money just to move around
All surround like sound gps grounds claymore
Clowns nothing left but chipped pieces
Sick with it drop hits like bird feces increases
Once the hunger strikes dangerous as Pike
So peddle ya bikes as stomp out the industry til I see ****** Nikes

Annnnnnnn that's a rap...
