I Would Like to Hide my Feelings with Silence

When I am silent, I would love to hide my feelings
But I hide absolutely nothing
Feelings pop out of my face like measles
Or pimples if am feeling irritated, grouchy, angry or sad.

Everyone is not an empath
But you do not have to be sensitive to read me
I am no poker face; I have tremendous tells

Silence has become one of my main reactions
To anger, sadness, irritability
Or if I feel someone is a moron, which happens more frequently these days

I use silence most of the time
Enthusiasm, excitement and joy plunge me out of silence
