My monster

Lack of Confidence is my "monster" It Burns through me like fire. I feel like I'm swimming in a sea full of my own insecurities. It's Sharp claws tear at my being, a pain so great it feels like a thousand knives. I weep until the water from my weary eyes is no more. For years, I yearn to get rid of this monster that consumes me. It haunts me as I try to fight it off. I'm so frightened, like a deer in headlights. I use my head to decide which I shall let take over. I decide to use my confidence sword to defeat the monster off. I unleash it from my inner self as I stab it in the heart. It roars in agony at the sudden impact. He looks at me. I look back. With a smirk on my face, as I sink the sword deeper into the heart. Killing him slowly but surely,as he breathes his last breath.
