I'm dead

I close my eyes and I breathe no more
No more standing at deaths0 door

No more struggling just to survive 
No more machines to keep me alive 

No more visits from people I don't know 
No more pity will they have to show

No more living in constant pain
No more injections ever again 

No more crying when No body's round 
No more hiding my unhappy sound

No more madness inside my head
Everything is OK now I'm dead.

I would imagine this echoes a lot for people. Why are they insistent in keeping people alive to no avail.

Certain times in life can be hard, even maddening, as you say.
