The Monster

There is a monster hindering 
 my every desire
A monster that restrains me 
By placing chains upon my hands 
and doubt in my heart
A horrid creature is he
Flled with anger and of pain
Wanting only  to destroy my hopes
Pointing out every mistake I make
There is no escaping this monster 
For  I see him everywhere I go 
He is the worst monster of all
Hiding where only I can see
Laughing at every step I take
Destroy him I wish I could
The monster I hate 
is me
