Jacket

There are many purposes for a jacket
There's many things they can be used for
Mostly to shield you from things
To shield your body from the cold
To shield friends from the truth
Much like hiding
To hide your laundry day shirt
To hide your actions
Was I hiding? Or was he hiding me?
Upholds a false image
To isolate us into groups
Hiding in plain sight
Covering your actions.
Their eyes hidden from my rejecting face
But one thing a jacket can't do
It doesn't protect
Shields breaks
Hidden things can be found
But protection... That's different
No holes. No cracks
The faults only in the protector and the protected.
