A Daily Ritual

As a chubby 14 year old schoolboy, I was forced to start wearing a firm control panty girdle as part of my regular school uniform. This poem briefly describes the agonies of an unwilling young boy struggling to adapt to the shame and discomfort of wearing women's shapewear as well as the ever-present fear of discovery.

I grit my teeth as I dress for school
Embarrassed, disgusted, resentful
I slowly squeeze into my girdle

I dread the day as I walk to school
Self-conscious, horrified, paranoid
Firm shapewear tight against my body

The long day ends and I rush from school
Impatient, uncontrolled, frenetic
I undress, near sobbing with relief
