"this is not about me"

i put it in the mailbox
in the dead of night
for fear that someone might witness
the blooming of my adulthood

i'm good at decisions
everyone says so
even my mother
it makes me sad

i like green
and humanity
and human rights
and fairness for my enemies

these things have swayed you
to and fro
back and forth
but you're not good at decisions

i put it in your mailbox
just like she did
(which consequently sickens me to write)
the paper on which i say goodbye
and now you can decide
what is best for a change
