Gimme permission!!!


The pressure is building,
I wiggle in my chair,
I look longingly at the door,
It’s about to burst!!!
I need to pee. Badly!
I need permission.

It rumbles and grumbles,
The noise reverberates,
I press my tummy, salivating.
I hope for it to shut up.
I’m very hungry, I need food.
I need permission.

I want some denim,
The feel of it on my skin!
I don’t want to care about wrinkles.
The feel of stiff cotton, grey and dull.
I want to be free,  not conforming.
I need permission.

How many things do I need to ask for?
Why is there SO much protocol?
Why can’t I pee when I want?
Why can’t I eat in class?
Why do I have to wear freaking formals?
I don’t want permission.
