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!

I'd not like my palm read, whatever the future holds for me it certainly is in 'my own hands lol' hugs Jan xx
