Vests are like body armor.
Loop a scarf to cover the scars.
Slim yourself down in dark jeans.
Mummy your fingers in wool.
Greasy hair? Grab a hat.
Zip up your coat against the wind.
This winter, you can mask your greatest insecurity.
Keep out the air, the discomfort, the stares.
Maybe the reason I love the cold
Is because it allows me to hide.
