Can i do it? i don't know
Am i ready? i don't know
can i take the plunge?
I stare down at the pen
and push it into me
and then around me stunned faces, happy, impressed
a sharp stabbing pain
then a smile creeps over my face
smiling, happiness, relief
and that is how it happened
my first injection
done by me.
