Pain

Gasping for my next breath,
Grunting with the thrust of the needle,
I become slightly more of a man.

Panic, a fear of the imminent moment,
Had subsided, disappeared under searing pain.

My body rigid and teeth embedded in my lip,
The pain does not seem to end.
On retrospection, I did not realize
How long two seconds could last.

Taking it slow now, numbing instead of stabbing,
I recognize that the worst was over.
I fucking made it, euphoria increasing with inhalations.
Now to try this shit out.
