Memo to Human Resources

I'll be in the back
And I don't need the help.
I'm good here in the back.
I'm good all by myself.

I'm busy taking stock of all the things that I forgot
And making mental notes of just exactly where I lost
The plot.

I stuck around too long
Feeling sorry for myself.
A disinvited guest
Rifles through the bathroom shelf.

I'm searching for some disbelief that I can still suspend,
But never mind the furthermore; the plea is self-defense
Again.

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice.
Then the people came to talk me down,
But I don't need advice - I'm down.

Later in my car,
I considered what you said.
I'm good here in my car.
I'm good with what you said.

And I'd be shouting out to you, but I was mighty hoarse.
Talk you through the finer points and issues much to small
To force.

Then the people came to talk me down
And I got some advice.
Then the people came to talk me down,
But I don't need advice - I'm down.
