Never Been
I’ve never been patient or calm.
If someone were reading my palm,
The lines there to see
Would give clues about me
Indicating the need for a balm.
Just the slightest thing tests my restraint
And it’s not a nice picture I paint.
Yet that’s how my brain works;
It’s just one of my quirks.
Mellow, chill or laid-back I sure ain’t!
