Call me fragile and a bore

Open to being labeled as fragile and uninteresting.

If that's what describes me

I don't mind your tone

Not bothered by the speaker's tone or judgment.

People are trying

Observing that there are individuals attempting to harm the world.

To destroy our world

Referring to the destructive actions of people impacting the world negatively.

Don't arrest me

It's not my fault

My best days I've spent on my own

Death is all around me

But I refuse to let it touch my bones

We all hope that

We'll live and never get old

Desiring a life where one can live without experiencing the effects of aging.

On my own

You are not alone
