My Platinum Jacket

The Jacket is a self made physical & mental apparatus, used to shield myself from predators and my own poor judgements. In a nutshell, it's a justifiable jacket. For 10 years, the impenetrable platinum protected me. It guarded me from predators, suitors, involvement, accountability and myself. Because the only way any of the undesirable things could exist was if I allowed them. Creating the jacket was necessary to get me through the years, but now it's time.
Time to take it off. I guarded myself by wearing an armor of defense. I figured that, okay you've been greedy and licentious for the majority of your life, and it's gotten you no where. When will it end, if you're not actively taking measures to end it?
