Eaquanimiy

Equanimity

Don't be too sad
  or be too angry
Too good or too bad
  Have equanimity.

Mine isn't a cynic mind
  or inclined to pain
Nor pleasure-blind;
 a confirmed villain.

          *

Guided by patience
More so, resilience 
Sameness of mind
Will protect the rind!

When in dire need
You'll act with speed. 
In accidents, to panic
Is next to Satanic!
