my dad tries to make this dumb joke.

all the lights are off and he tries to scare me.

i flinch but i have a neutral expression.

i looked dead almost.

i always am when i'm around him

i wish i was.

 " you're so stoic. "

~~ 

stoic,

a person who can pain or without showing their feelings or complaining

~~

am i like that around others?

dry expressions?

maybe it would be better that way.

not showing your expressions.

not expressing them.

it would make people feel better, would it?

they wouldn't have to deal with me.

or ask if i was alright.

they have one less burden to care about.
