How It Feels Being A Victim Of Domestic Violence

When I was 16, I got with a man who turned out to be very violent and abusive. Whilst still in the relationship (which lasted 2.5 years) I heard this song for the very first time and it completely epitomised how it felt to be me at that time. To this day I still have the utmost respect for what I overcame whenever I hear this song, and for every person who may be feeling the same.

Metallica: Fade To Black

Life it seems will fade away

Drifting further every day

Getting lost within myself

Nothing matters no-one else

I have lost the will to live

Simply nothing more to give

There is nothing more for me

Need the end to set me free

Things not what they used to be

Missing one inside of me

Deathly lost this can't be real

Cannot stand this hell I feel

Emptiness is filling me

To the point of agony

Growing darkness taking dawn

I was me but now he's gone

No-one but me can save myself but it's too late

Now I can't think, think why I should even try

Yesterday seems as though it never existed

Death greets me warm, now I will just say goodbye

Goodbye
