the art of looking calm while your insides audition for a horror film
means Outwardly calm, collected, and in control of one's emotions; also, having been put together or created (as a piece of writing or music).
from From Latin 'componere,' to put together, from 'com-' (together) and 'ponere' (to place) — the same root behind 'compose,' 'component,' and 'composite.' The emotional sense follows the literal one: to be 'composed' is to have your feelings arranged neatly into place, like notes on a staff, rather than scattered all over the floor.
