It seems this is about troops surviving combat and returning home with PTSD.

"Is it a sin to miss the hell that you survived with best of friends," definitely is about the brotherhood that we in the military share and the events we endure together forge lifelong friendships.

"What doesn't kill you can control you," seems to refer to surviving traumatic events or survivors guilt of losing a brother in battle.

"Now it defines me and it reminds me hat it will never let me go," is how PTSD unfortunately controls your life and no matter how hard you try to overcome it.

"I try to change but the dawn escapes again I fight another endless night," I have two friends with combat related PTSD and they say it's a struggle to continue to live. That it takes a very powerful person to continue living. Even with through going to constant therapy and support groups, it so sadly defines and takes a lot of humanity away from a person.

With that said, if anyone is struggling with PTSD, depression or suicidal thoughts even with any kind of event. Doesn't have to be dramatic as combat, please reach out and seek help and I highly encourage anyone to go to therapy. This is the suicide prevention hotline 1-800-273-8255.

Stay metal friends <3
